CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Jan. 16 , 1934

* John Dillinger bank robbery
* East Chicago, Indiana
* Policeman killing


The front page has a five column heading: "Dillinger Robs Bank, Kills Policeman" with subhead. Five related photos are on the back page. Some historians believe this was the only time Dillinger actually killed someone. When it comes to gangsters, organized crime, and the nefarious activities born out of the Prohibition and Great Depression eras, no city is more in the forefront of our minds than Chicago - and what better newspaper can be found than the Chicago Tribune, self-proclaimed to be "The World's Greatest Newspaper".
Complete with all 28 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. In great condition as such, a few small binding holes at the blank spine.
