A genuine Colorado cowboy turned gangster, he was known for his wild temperament and love of theatrics — famously challenging his friend O'Banion's killers to a street duel after the 1924 murder. He ran the Chicago Theatrical Janitors Union as a shakedown operation and maintained ranching interests in Colorado. Long considered an embarrassment by mob leadership for his recklessness, he was finally gunned down in Chicago in 1935.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOffered is an original press Photo that measures 5” x 7” in size.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eOriginal paper caption glued over stamp on the back reads:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSOUGHT FOR QUESTIONING IN BOETTCHER KIDNAPPING.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDenver police have asked Chicago authorities to question Louis (Two-Gun) Alterie, former Chicago gangster and now retired Arizona dude rancher, about the kidnapping at Denver, Colo., Feb. 12, of Charles Boettcher, 31-year-old capitalist.
