Inspector Edward P. Mulrooney and members of the bomb squad of the NYPD paid a visit to an apartment house on January 3, 1929, that was partly owned by the crime boss Arnold Rothstein. The cops opened a safe, built into the building's cellar, in hopes of obtaining clues to Rothstein's murder. From left: Inspector Mulrooney next to safe wall, Capt. John Lyons, and Sgt.
