Description
(Original Caption) The first day of the trial of Charles "Lucky" Luciano and 10 of his alleged Lieutenants, accused with him of operating New York's vast vice ring, ended at 11 P.M tonight, and this rare picture of the refuted vice lord was made as he started back to jail in the prison van. Luciano (rear-right) was caught off-guard as he took his seat in the van, and he did not have a chance to bring his protecting handkerchief, that he is holding, to his face to hide his features from the lens. Three of the original thirteen called for trial confessed before the trial got underway, and they may be used by state as witnesses. Five jurors were selected today.
