Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing Frank S. Avilez lying on a San Francisco courtroom floor with his arms pinned behind his back after an attempted escape. Avilez had just been sentenced to 440 years in prison on 32 counts of rape, attempted rape, robbery and burglary. Police Inspector Eugene Atkinson kneels beside him. The caption identifies Avilez as the "Black Gloved Rapist." Caption is printed directly on the photograph. Tape remains on the corners, and an AP stamp is present on the back. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
