November 14, 1924

THE DAY, New London, Connecticut, November 14, 1924  This 20 page newspaper has two column headlines one page 3: "FUNERAL OF SLAIN GANGSTER SETS NEW RECORD IN CHICAGO" "Killing of Gunman O'Banion Leads to Declaration by Mayor Dever That Gun Rule Is Ended".

This tells of the recent assassination of Chicago mob boss Dean O'Banion. This is early for Chicago mob news prior to Al Capone becoming a nationally known figure.

Other news of the day. Some tiny binding holes along the spine, lightly browned, otherwise in good condition.
