Death Drama On The Sidewalks Of Fifth Avenue New York City -- Battle, murder and sudden death, more spectacular than any conjured by writers of fiction, took place on the sidewalks of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street, in the heart of the crowded shopping section, following a holdup in an elevator of a building in 34th Street. When the smoke of battle had cleared two men, one a policeman and one a civilian, were dead, three were wounded and the two payroll bandits, one of them seriously wounded, were in custody. The lens of a camera following the daylight horror here record the dramatic phases of the gunfight. July 1, 1952. (Photo by ACME).
