CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, January 17, 1934

* Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow
* Prison escape and gunfight
* Infamous photo of the pair (rare)
 

Page 4 has a report straight out of the movies with a one column heading: "Gunman Shoot 2 Guards, Free 5 From Prison" with subhead. But what is great about this issue is the infamous photo of the duo also on page 5. The only time I've seen this photo in a newspaper was the report of their demise a few months later. Rare as such. This event was in the 1967 movie "Bonnie & Clyde" starring Warren Beatty & Faye Dunaway. Notice the mention of Bonnie Parker being a cigar smoking woman.
Complete with all 30 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. In great condition as such, a few small binding holes at the blank spine.
