Shooting bull -- Central Park (LOC)

    query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9904E2D7133FE633A... MAN IS SHOT DEAD IN CHASE FOR STEER; Frenzied Animal Tears Down Fifth Avenue, Police Shooting from Taxicabs. SEVEN OTHERS SCATTER Wild Bullet Slays a Watchman ;- Waiter Is Wounded ;- All the Beeves Caught or Killed. November 4, 1913, Tuesday A policeman's wild bullet killed a watchman early yesterday morning in a wild cattle chase, which spread consternation in the heart of the city. One lumbering steer seeking to escape pursuit turned into Fifth Avenue at Fifty-ninth Street and, dodging bullets which were fired at it by pursuing policemen, caused such uproar that Fifth Avenue thought that either a gangsters' battle was in progress or a Wild West show had lost its bearings.

    query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F4091EFD3F5412738... SEES POLICE FLYING AFTER AIR BURGLARS " Mile-a-Minute" Murphy, the Department's Only Licensed Pilot, Talks of Aero Sleuths. SCOUTS TO PROTECT CITY Expects Robbers to Take to Aeronautics as Soon as the Profits Look Promising. New York Times August 14, 1914 The use of the aeroplane as an instrument of war, which now has been proven in a spectacular way by the European belligerents, furnishes another convincing argument for Charles M. Murphy, better known as "Mile-a-Minute" Murphy, who is trying to demonstrate how these machines are undoubtedly going to be used by the police, sooner or later.

    TVL 1970 and Richard Arthur Norton--Thank you for the colorful story of "Mile-a-Minute Murphy" and his idea of police using airplanes to catch criminals. We will add some of it to the image description when we update.

    The machine on the picture is a design of Giuseppe Bellanca , actually his third design - a parasol wing construction - dating from the fall 1911, built in New York. The machine was used as a trainer, that is the trainee was in the plane actually flying and the instructor was on the ground (!), as the machine was a single seat one. A pupil became later very famous, Fiorella H. LaGuardia in later times the mayor of New York. Reference: Spencer, Jay P. 1982. Bellanca C.F. The emergence of the cabin monoplane in the United States. ISBN 0-87474-881-X. p. 12-15. A Smithsonian production. This study shows two other pictures (one in flight !) of the machine. Kees

Capt. John McClintock (LOC)

  • Wystan said:
    On February 1, 1914, Captain John McClintock was appointed First Deputy Police Commissioner of New York City. He resigned ten months later; a New York Times story on December 8, 1914, hinted that the resignation had been inspired by a desire to accept a police post in the newly-created (and USA-administered) Panama Canal Zone. (McClintock had formerly held a customs post in Panama.): query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9B00E... Other Bain/LOC portraits of Capt. John McClintock:
