Item # 690069

April 10, 1939

ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH, April 10, 1939

* Johnny Torrio pleads guilty to tax evasion
* Chicago Italian mobster - bootlegger - racketeer
* Former Chicago Outfit Mafia crime family leader
* Big Jim Colosimo successor - Al Capone predecessor


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "GANGSTER TORRIO HALTS TAX TRIAL TO PLEAD GUILTY" with subheads and photo. (see) Some wear and binding holes along the spine causes a little text loss to this report. Torrio would spend two years in prison for tax evasion.
Thirty + pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, more so along the spine with the mentioned text loss, otherwise good.
