1936 Vintage Coaster Gangster Moll Captured

Gangster’s Moll Captured in Iowa: This picture taken by a Des Moines Register and Tribune staff photographer of the capture of part of the desperate Barrow gang that was terrorizing the mid-west is rated one of the best news pictures of all times. The Barrow Gang was an American gang active between 1932 and 1934. They were well known outlaws, robbers, murderers, and criminals who, as a gang, traveled the Central United States during the Great Depression. Blanch Barrow was the wife of the elder brother of Clyde Barrow, known as Buck. He became her second husband after his release from prison after a pardon. To her dismay, Buck joined his brother’s gang. She only spent 4 months with the gang.
