[Transcription:] "PLEASE POST POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTION SERVICE OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR IN CHARGE PHILADELPHIA 1, PENNSYLVANIA REWARD WANTED - MAIL THIEF AND FORGER JEROME POSTER Case No. 196830-D December 5, 1947 DESCRIPTION: Age, 24, 1947; Height, 6'; Weight, 186 lbs; Eyes, Chestnut; Hair, Black, curly; Build, Medium slender; Complexion, Medium dark. Scars-Dark brown flesh mole on right cheek. Jewish, but looks Italian. Eyesight allegedly impaired through recent self-inflicted injury but examining physicians disagreed on extent of impairment, if any. FINGERPRINT CLASSIFICATION 14 O 1 R OII 6 M 17 Att O Handwriting Specimen: Jerome Poster The United States Marshals, Philadelphia, Pa., and Chicago, Illinois, hold warrants for the arrest of Jerome Poster. If located, please cause his immediate arrest and notify the undersigned or the nearest Post Office Inspector by telegraph or telephone collect. OFFENSE: Jerome Poster is a hall letter box thief who steals bank statements and uses the information contained therein to prepare bogus checks drawn on the accounts of legitimate depositors. In some instances he has succeeded in having these checks certified and has passed them for American Express Travelers' Cheques. Also, steals letters containing checks which he passes. He travels extensively by plane and stays at good hotels under various names. He is attracted to women who describe him as "cheap". He has a fancy for convertible automobiles. The Post Office Department has a standing reward of $200 for the arrest and conviction of any offender on the charge of theft from mail receptacles. J. H. MARKS, Post Office Inspector in Charge, Chicago 7, Illinois. Telephone HARRison 4820-4821 D. H. STEPHENS, Post Office Inspector in Charge, Philadelphia 1, Pa. Telephone: BARing 2-8000 Ext. 418 Phila. P.O. - 12-8-47 - 50000" Jerome Poster was apprehended after a multi-city evasion. He was arraigned on federal government forgery and mail theft charges in Philadelphia in March 1948. Before this flyer was distributed, in June 1947, while serving a previous term at Holmesburg County Prison in Philadelphia, Poster used a smuggled hypodermic needle syringe to extract fluid from his own eyeballs. He intentionally blinded himself in a desperate bid to permanently halt his own compulsive criminal career. He stated that if he could no longer see, he would no longer forge signatures. Examining federal physicians disputed how much of his vision was destroyed by the self-inflicted injury. By late 1947 and early 1948, he was captured again and photographed being led through federal courtrooms completely blind, relying on U.S. Marshals to guide him. Jerome Poster spent the remaining years of his life in and out of the federal prison system and institutional confinement. His self-blinding did not put an end to his legal struggles or his compulsions. After Poster used a smuggled syringe to blind himself, prison doctors at Holmesburg County Prison acted quickly. Their emergency treatment successfully restored most of his eyesight. The severe nature of his self-inflicted injury caused a sympathetic judge to reduce his bail from $25,000 to just $500 so he could seek outside specialized medical care. Instead of seeking treatment, Poster skipped town, and went right back to forging checks under the alias "Raymond Benet". Postal Inspectors tracked his new bad checks and cornered him once again. When recaptured, he told the arresting inspector, "I thought I could shake you guys. I should have known better." On April 9, 1948, a federal judge ended his cross-country run by sentencing the 24-year-old "Boy Wonder of Forgery" to a straight 10-year prison sentence. Because of his self-destructive tendencies and compulsion, after the 1948 conviction his years in prison were closely monitored. Curiosly, the poster described him as "Jewish but looks Italian" I guess his features do not fit the stereotype image of a Jew. (illustratore).…
