February 15, 1929

THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 15, 1929 

* St. Valentine's Day Massacre
* George 'Bugs' Moran & Al Capone


The top of the front page has a three line, two column headline announcing one of the more infamous events of the gangster era: "7 CHICAGO GANGSTERS SLAIN BY FIRING SQUAD OF RIVALS, SOME IN POLICE UNIFORMS". Subheads include: "Victims Lined Up In Row" "Hands Up, Faces to Wall of Garage Rendezvous, They Are Mowed Down" "All Took It For A Raid" "Four Machine Gun Executioners, Wearing Badges, Made Swift Escape in Automobile" "Moran's Staff Wiped Out" and more. The report carries over to page 2 offering much detail of the event.
The complete pages 1-24, which is likely the first of 2 sections. Toning at the central fold and an inked subscription label in the upper right corner, otherwise in nice condition.
