After John Dillinger's infamous jail escape...



Item # 710325

March 10, 1934

CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, March 10, 1934 

* Gangster John Dillinger
* Post famous wooden gun escape
* Hunted in the Midwest


The front page has a one column heading: "NEW DILLINGER HUNT ON; SHOTS HALT POLICE CAR" with subhead. Related photo on page 4. (see images) This was probably one of the most famous escapes from a high security jail in United States history.
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 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.
