  • "Baby Face Nelson" was George Nelson, (AKA Lester Gillis).

    He was shot dead on 27 November 1934, perhaps enabling a date range to be given to this clip.

    Seen on one of the newspapers at 00:14 is mobster Dutch Schultz.

    The man pictured at 00:26 is FBI agent Herman Hollis, one of the men killed by Nelson.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
