February 27, 1929
CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Feb. 27, 1929
* St. Valentine's Day Massacre investigations
* George 'Bugs' Moran & Al 'Scarface' Capone
* Best publication to be had - very rare as such
The top of page 5 has a one column heading: "SEARCH GOES ON FOR 17 SUSPECTS IN GANG KILLING" with subhead. Report contains a list of possible suspects including Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn. (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 40 pages, rag edition, minor spine wear, nice condition.
