* Gangster Charles Birger hanging - execution
* Prohibition era bootlegger - charged w/ murder


Page 25 has a smaller one column heading: "Last Illinois Hanging Sends Birger To Doom" with subhead. (see images) First report coverage the execution of Charles Birger for the murder of Mayor Joseph Adams. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete in 48 pages, light toning at the margins, a few small binding slits along the spine, nice condition.
