- A federal record in the National Archives, from the FBI's photographs related to its 75th anniversary (local identifier 65-AN-17). The catalog gives the use restriction as "Unrestricted"; a work of the United States government, public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105.
The image shows a portrait in a circle beside four captions, which the FBI wrote: “Member of Keating-Holden-Nash gang.” “Burglar, bank robber and killer.” “Participated in Leavenworth penitentiary jail break on December 11, 1931.” “Nash was killed on June 17, 1933, in the Kansas City Massacre.” The photograph’s date is not given in the catalog response. It is part of the series “Photographs Related to the 75th Anniversary of the FBI.”
The wording is the Bureau’s, not neutral, and is quoted as a caption. Nash was a federal prisoner at the time of his death; the FBI and the court records filed here describe the events of 17 June 1933.
