April 14, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 14, 1934

* John Dillinger gang raids police station
* Warsaw, Indiana
* Post famous escape from jail (wooden gun)

The back page has one column headlines that include: "DILLINGER RAIDS A POLICE STATION" "With Youth He Forces Warsaw, Ind., Patrolman to Take Him to Arsenal" "Killer Fails To Shoot" and more with related photo. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 34 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
