A Couple B&Ws from NYC

I was clicking around facebook and found this article of "never-before-seen photos from 100 years ago" (although I imagine the photos been passed around by now, haha). There are some pretty cool photos in it from the New York City Municipal Archives, so here's two interesting ones. Sorry if these have been posted before, I tried searching and didn't see them.

Description for the first one:
"A detective took this crime scene photo in 1918 after children found the body of Gaspare Candella stuffed in a drum and dumped in a field in Brooklyn, New York"

Description for the second one:
"When the New York Times wrote about elevator operator Robert Green, left, and Jacob Jagendorf, a building engineer, right, it reported that their bodies found lying at the bottom of an elevator shaft November 24, 1915, told the story of the pair's failed robbery attempt"

I definitely recommend checking out the other photos in the article too. The others have no death, but they're a pretty cool glimpse into past NYC.

Death has never looked more stylish The 1st pic is especially chilling. Look at that car, it's vintage Christine!
