National Photo Company glass-negative photograph of a crowd around a police patrol wagon at a raid on a gambling place on E Street, Washington, D.C., 31 January 1925.

The Library of Congress title, from the National Photo Company's caption, is "Police raid on gamblers den, E St. bet. 12 and 13th, 1/31/25." The Library notes that the caption comes from unverified data supplied by the company. The caption gives no quadrant for E Street; the collection and the related print place it in Washington.

A second print of the same negative, [filed separately](/items/loc-90708939-police-raid-book-makers-1925/), carries the caption "Several loads of book makers were taken from the E. St. address by the police." No one is named. The copy stored here is the Library's medium-size JPEG.
