The front page has a nice banner headline for display: "U.S. JURY SETS PIQUETT FREE" with subheads. (see images) Coverage continues on page 2 with related photo. Another related photo and heading on the back page. Nice to have from the city where Dillinger was assassinated.
Complete with 28 pages, rag edition in very nice condition. A few small binding holes along the spine.
wikipedia notes: In 1934, Piquett defended Dillinger in Crown Point, Indiana. He successfully argued that Dillinger should be allowed to appear in court free of shackles and without armed guards present. After Dillinger's dramatic pre-trial escape, an investigation by the state of Indiana revealed Piquett's complicity.
In January 1935, Piquett was charged with harboring the fugitive Dillinger and of conspiring with a number of others, including two doctors, to hide Dillinger while he underwent plastic surgery.
