CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Feb. 24, 1929

  • St. Valentine's Day Massacre investigations
  • George 'Bugs' Moran & Al 'Scarface' Capone
  • Best publication to be had - very rare as such

The front page has a one column heading: "MISSING FINGER GIVES CLEW TO MURDER DRIVER" with smaller subheads. Coverage continues inside with related photo. (see) Such reports are probably only reported in a Chicago publication, very rare as such. 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"
