THE DAY, New London, Conn. Aug. 27, 1930 

* Jack 'Legs' Diamond hunted
* New York City gangster

The top of the front page has a three column headline: "Diamond and Hotel Man Now Sought in N.Y. Gang Mystery; Hold Three Men and Women" with subhead. (see images) Though the NYPD was looking for Diamond in the city, he was actually out in the Atlantic Ocean escaping legal matters and rival gangs. 
Complete with 16 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, nice condition.

Background: The failed 1930 European excursion of Jack "Legs" Diamond serves as a pivotal moment in American criminal history, marking the transition from localized bootlegging to the early attempts at transatlantic narcotics syndication. While Diamond publicly claimed the trip was for health reasons, the discovery of massive cash reserves and his attempts to coordinate with European suppliers signaled a shift toward globalizing organized crime—an ambition that preceded the formalization of the National Crime Syndicate. The event is historically significant for highlighting the growing reach of the NYPD and federal authorities, who utilized the burgeoning technology of wireless telegraphy to coordinate with Scotland Yard and Interpol to "blackball" an American gangster on a global scale. Diamond’s unceremonious deportation on a freighter full of canaries not only humiliated one of Prohibition's most resilient figures but also demonstrated that the underworld's expansion was being met by a newly unified, international law enforcement front. This "hunt" effectively shattered Diamond's aura of invincibility, leading to his rapid decline and eventual assassination as the criminal landscape shifted toward the more disciplined, corporate-style leadership of figures like Lucky Luciano.
