CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, March 7, 1929

* John Scalise arrested (1st report)
* Al Capone - Chicago Outfit hitmen
* re. Saint Valentine's Day Massacre
* Best title to be had - very rare as such


The top of page 3 has a one column heading: "SCALISI, CAPONE BODYGUARD, HELD IN GANG KILLING" with subhead: "Identified as Massacre Slayer, Police Say" (see) 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 40 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 spine.
