Clint Eastwood's new movie covers an 80-year-old kidnapping and murder case that electrified Los Angeles.

The man who probably kidnapped and killed young Walter Collins. The caption says, "Gordon Stewart Northcott signing out in the 'big book' at the Los Angeles County Jail as he departed for Riverside to go on trial as the slayer of the Winslow brothers."
