Description
Washington, D.C. February 17, 1938 Vice President Garner playfully tries his "stickup" technique on Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, present owner of the .45 pistols that were formerly used by Jesse James. Senator Truman secured the guns in Southern Missouri from a doctor's wife, whose husband received them in payment of medical services rendered to Frank James, another of the James' boys. Jesse James had previously left them to Frank after he was killed by the Pinkerton men. The bandit garnered nearly $1,000,000 in a series of holdups with the guns.
