The front page has a four column heading: "Million-Dollar Holdup Sets Off Big Manhunt" (see). Note: While the headline states $1 million in cash was stolen, the actual take including everything was over 2 million dollars, making it the largest robbery to-date within the United States and earning the title, "The Crime of the Century!"
