THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 22, 1927
* Early Al Capone report
* Chicago gangster wars strengthen
* Police outgunned
This 60 page newspaper has one column headlines on page 31 that include: "CHICAGO GANGSTERS SEIZED IN NEW WAR" and "Two Killers Wait in Courtroom for "Scarface" Capone, but He Fails to Appear".
Reports mentioning Capone this early are very rare, more than a year prior to the St. Valentine's Day massacre. Nice reporting near the beginning of the Chicago gangster wars.
Other news of the day throughout including period advertising. Light browning, darker along the central fold (see photos), minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition.
