The Postal Inspection Service released this 'Wanted' poster for the three DeAutremont brothers for robbery and murder on a mail train. The poster includes a synopsis of the crime, announcement of the $15,900 reward, and photographs and descriptions of each brother. Determined to track them down, postal inspectors sent 2.5 million posters in six different languages to law enforcement agencies across the U.S. and around the world.
