CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, May 5, 1932
* Al Capone starts 11 year term
* Chicago gangland gangster boss
* Best title to be had - very rare as such
The ftpg. has a one column head: "CHICAGO PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1 NOW CONVICT 40886" "Gates at Atlanta Close on Capone" which includes a photo of the warden.
After his sentence for income tax evasion the previous year, Al Capone was sent to a federal prison in Atlanta. He would later be transferred to Alcatraz. When it comes to gangsters, organized crime, and the nefarious activities born out of the Prohibition and Great Depression eras, no city is more in the forefront of our minds than Chicago - and what better newspaper can be found than the Chicago Tribune, self-proclaimed to be "The World's Greatest Newspaper".
The report carries over to page 8. The back page has a nice photo of him playing cards with a U.S. marshal: "While Gang Chieftain's Train Was near Atlanta Penitentiary."
Capone's infamy is very much linked to the city of Chicago so great to have this content in this newspaper.
The complete 30 page issue. This is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for the requirements of institutional holdings consequently in great condition. Four small binding holes at the blank spine.
