* John Dillinger's escape with wooden gun
* Crown Point, Indiana
* The hunt continues
This 44 page newspaper has a one column headlines on the front page that inlude: "U. S. AGENTS SHOOT AIDE OF DILLINGER"; "Companion of Outlaw in Last Saturday's Escape Brought Down from Ambush", "Part Of Federal Roundup" and more.
Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise good.
wikipedia notes: John Herbert Dillinger (June 22, 1903–July 22, 1934) was a bank robber in the midwestern United States during the 1930s. Some considered him a dangerous criminal, while others idolized him as a present-day Robin Hood. He gained this latter reputation (and the nickname "Jackrabbit") for his graceful movements during heists, such as leaping over the counter (a movement he supposedly copied from the movies) and many narrow getaways from police. His exploits, along with those of other criminals of the Great Depression, such as Bonnie and Clyde and Ma Barker, dominated the attention of the American press and its readers[1] during what is sometimes referred to as the public enemy era (1931-1935), a period which led to the further development of the modern and more sophisticated Federal Bureau of Investigation.
