THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Jan. 9, 1965. On the front page it has a three line, two column head: "Star of India, 8 Other Jewels Found in Locker".

Morgan display--all of which had been on display at the American Museum of Natural History. Includes a small photo of Allan Kuhn, one of the indivudals accused of the theft. The report continues on page 2 and names the famous 'Jack (Murph the Surf) Murphy' as one of the accused, along with one other individual (in addition to Kuhn). Has small binding holes in the blank left margin, and is browned just a bit at the edges, otherwise the issue is in good condition.
