Artifacts connected to some of the nation’s most famous gangsters sold for more than $100,000 at auction Saturday.

A diamond pocket watch that belonged to Al Capone and was produced in Chicago in the 1920s, along with a handwritten musical composition he wrote in Alcatraz in the 1930s, were among the items that sold . The watch fetched the most – $84,375 – according to Boston-based RR Auction.




An autographed “So Long” letter written by Bonnie Parker and signed by Clyde Barrow just before their deaths sold for $16,250. A pair of Texas arrest warrants fetched $8,125.
Bonnie's silver-plated, three-headed snake ring fetched $25,000.

A letter written by John Gotti, the reputed head of the Gambino crime family in New York, didn’t sell. The 1998 letter to the daughter of a mob associate urges the recipient to tell her father “to keep the martinis cold.”

Question. Sort of off topic
I was thinking today. Here in Australia we had the bushrangers. Highway men who robbed. Stole and murdered.
What was the equivilent name for these types in the States. For outlaw cowboys and such?

along roads , and paths.
highwaymen, and bandits are two that come to mind.
also simply robbers.
pirates, along the canals.
different areas had different terms.
also different states had different terms.
