Original July 23, 1934, edition of The Knickerbocker Press, 16.75 x 22.75, 18 pages, with its banner headline announcing “Dillinger Killed By Federal Agents’ Guns; Elusive Desperado Mowed Down When He Walks Out of Theatre in Chicago and Meets 15 Marksmen.” A portrait of Dillinger is under the headline with four smaller headlines including “Outlaw Whips Pistol Out of Pocket But Is Felled by Blast of Bullets,” and “Crimes Almost Without Number Are Avenged as Hunted Man’s Life Ends.” Front page also bears a story on the daring death row escape of Raymond Hamilton. In very good fragile condition, with central horizontal fold, uniform toning, and several edge tears and chips, and minor paper loss.
