Karpis capture in New Orleans raid shocks city
Federal agents led by J Edgar Hoover stormed a Canal Street apartment in New Orleans last night and captured Alvin Karpis and two companions, a red haired woman identified only as Ruth and Fred Hunter, a Ohio mail robbery suspect. Ruth’s identity and fingerprints were being checked in Washington as the group guarded the crime leader and his associates. The operation, described as a decisive blow in the Barker-Karpis gang, ended with Karpis, Ruth, and Hunter taken to questionings at the Post Office building. Hoover announced the capture hours after the raid and took Karpis by chartered plane to an unknown destination.
