Lots of guesses so far: Telly Savalas (2 votes!), Mickey Cohen, Sammy
Cahn, Billy Wilder, Mel Blanc, Neil Simon, Jack Dragna, E.H. Land,
Harry "Big Greenie" Greenberg, Johnny Roselli, Frank DeSimone, Bugsy Siegel, Matt Weinstock and Dustin Hoffman.
But none of them are right.
Maybe you have become fond of our mystery guest or wondered what he was like. Unfortunately, the end of his life was not pretty.

so based on photo 5, he was a prisoner in California. Was he an anarchist or a communist on trial for conspiring to blow something up?
I might have said he was a writer up on obscenity charges, but if he died a violent death–shots through a window, no less ( a windshield?)–then he must have been a gangster.
–Could be.
Keep guessing!
