THE OMAHA EVENING BEE-NEWS, Nebraska, December 18, 1931

* Gangster Jack 'Legs' Diamond killed (1st report)

The significant report in this issue is actually in the bottom half of the front page, headed:

* Gang Kills 'Legs' Diamond at Rooming House Party

with the report beginning: "...33 year-old Jack "Legs" Diamond was killed Friday by members of the underworld in which he had long been a sinister figure of ever-growing power..." with more (see photos). 
The issue is complete, has ususal browning with some margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
