  • Collection summary Portrait of Mrs. Tony Panichi sitting outdoors on a concrete bench in Chicago, Illinois. Buildings are visible in the distance behind her. Her husband was an employee of the Scotch Wollen mills who was accused of shooting and killing Samuel Kapper, a striking garment worker, during a melee. His wife was accused of handing him the gun that he used to shoot at strikers. A judge dropped the charges on November 19th on the grounds that Panichi believed his life was in danger from the "slugging" that frequently occurred during the bitter strike of garment workers.
