A man stands in the vacant lot outside an old paint store, reading the side of the wall which advertises the paint. This was rumored to actually be a bookie joint. Ten years earlier Cohen was a small-time bookmaker operating from this store at 8109 Beverly Blvd. In this shop he once killed a man in self-defense. This location was also called the scene of the "Grudge fight murder". (2 file dates: May 16, 1945 & Mar 4, 1949)
