A Library of Congress print of the January 1925 National Photo Company view of a police raid on E Street, Washington, captioned "Several loads of book makers were taken from the E. St. address by the police."

The Library of Congress title is "Police raid a gambler's den. Several loads of book makers were taken from the E. St. address by the police." This print is from a film copy negative and is cropped tighter than the [glass-negative print](/items/loc-2016839227-police-raid-gamblers-den-1925/) dated January 31, 1925; both carry the National Photo Company negative number 34089. The Library's subject heading is Gambling--Washington (D.C.)--1920-1930. The photographer is not stated.

No one is named, and the caption does not say what became of those arrested. The copy stored here is the Library's medium-size JPEG.
