Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing three Lackland Army Air Base soldiers being held in San Antonio, Texas, after being charged in the severe beating of wealthy oilman Mel Moffitt. The three accused men are seated with Alamo Heights Police Chief Albert Earl, while two patrolmen stand behind them. Caption is printed directly on the photograph. Tape remains on the corners, and an AP stamp is present on the back. Shows expected age and newsroom/archive wear. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
