St. Valentine's Day Massacre investigation, in a Chicago newspaper...



Item # 706350

February 26, 1929

CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Feb. 19, 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: "Capone Opens Florida Manor to the Gentry" Three related photos on the back page show a scene at the gangsters funeral, Capone's Miami home and Capone sporting a bathing suit. (see images)
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".
Complete with all 42 pages, rag edition in great condition.
