Gallows Used to Hang Gangster Discovered in Barn

Illinois gangster Charlie Birger being hanged

This is a photograph of the infamous 1920s Illinois gangster Charlie Birger being hanged in 1928. It was recently found disassembled in a barn in Franklin County Illinois. A local museum that has memorabilia on Birger has requested it be sent to them. Before the scaffold is enshrined in the museum it could be put to good use removing some more modern criminals from their current haunts (such as Washington D.C.)
