This is just my opinion, but I believe this picture dates earlier than 1936. My grandfather was W.R. Burke who was with WSPD from 1924-1964. I have this picture along with others that belonged to my grandfather. I’m reasonable sure W.R.Burke is on the back row, 6th from left. He looks considerably younger here than in another 1936 picture in your archives of the WSPD Detective Divison “Spider Gang” He is on back row far right of that picture. My thoughts are this picture dates around 1928-1929. To me it looks like Chief J.A.Thomas on front row to left of 3 men in plain cloths. Chief Thomas was chief from 1913-1929. I’m interested in your thoughts.
Do you have any information about this photo? My Grandfather is in this picture. I am not sure of the year or anything, except for him.
Thank you very much! Benjamin Theodore Phelps – Photo of Him in group of he Winston-Salem Police Department (WSPD), North Carolina
(He is in 2nd Row from the top on the far right end.)
[Can’t seem to copy the picture. :-( Sorry!]
My great grandfather James Robert Crutchfield Jr was a detective in the spider gang unit
I recently located this photo in the Twin City Sentinel, November 17, 1928. The newspaper article includes a list of the men in the photo, listed by rank rather than location in the photo. The three men in the center of the first row are: Mayor Thomas Barber, D. C. Butner, and P. S. Bailey. (Not in order). Butner and Bailey are members of the police committee of the Board of Aldermen.
