Al Capone tax evasion case, in a Chicago newspaper...



Item # 679608

June 08, 1931

CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, June 8, 1931 

* Gangster Al 'Scarface' Capone
* Income tax evasion case
* Best title to be had (rare)


The front page has a one column heading: "HUNT CAPONE'S HIDDEN RICHES FOR U. S. DEBT" with subhead. (see)
Related photo is on the back page. Capone would plead guilty about a week later.
Terrific to have this report in a Chicago newspaper, home to so much of the gangland activity during the Prohibition era.
Complete with all 32 pages, rag edition in great condition. A few small binding holes along the spine.
