THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 20, 1932

* Vannie Higgins shot & killed
* NYC mobster - prohibition bootlegger
* "Brooklyn's Last Irish Boss"


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "VANNIE HIGGINS DIES, SILENT ON SLAYERS; POLICE MYSTIFIED" with subheads. (see) Lengthy first report coverage continues inside with photo. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication, especially on this event.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 pages, light toning at the margins, nice condition.
