Albert Marco
Albert Marco was an Italian-born bootlegger and pimp active in Los Angeles during the American Prohibition era. Born around 1887, he immigrated into the United States in the early 20th century and became involved in crime in Nevada and Washington before moving to Southern California. Protected by political connections, Marco made large profits from liquor smuggling and prostitution, and was linked to figures including Charles H. Crawford and Max "Boo Hoo" Hoff. In 1928 he was arrested after shooting two men at the Ship Cafe in Venice, Los Angeles. Convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, he was sent to San Quentin State Prison, and was eventually deported to Italy. This photograph, showing Marco at the police station with blood stains, was captured on a glass-plate negative by a Los Angeles Times photographer the morning after a Ship Cafe shooting.Photograph credit: unidentified Los Angeles Times photographer; restored by Adam Cuerden
