doing everything they can to help their friend officer leo gorski

You will recall the recently-posted story of the robbery of the Third Northwestern National Bank.

Minneapolis Police Officers came out in numbers to try to help save Officer Leo Gorski by donating their blood.

In this photograph from December 16, 1937, Dr. Rueben Berman takes blood from Officer R.C. Lindvall while a line of officers await their turn to give blood.

From left to right, they are: Officers A.W. Miller, Earl F. Richter, J.P. Larson, J.W. O’Neill, T.A. Dahl, and Paul Green.

The assisting nurse is Ruth Broderick and the assisting orderly is unidentified.
