Original June 21, 1947 edition of Cincinnati Times-Star (Kentucky Edition). Section two of the paper measures 16.5 x 23, with the headline reading “Machine-Gunner Kills Movieland Gang Figure.” Bi-line and opening of the one column article read “’Bugsie’ Siegel Slain By Shots Fired Through Window…Gangland bullets late last night snuffed out the life of Benjamin (Bugsie) Siegel, 41-year-old gambler and one one-time public enemy, as he sat quietly in a home here reading a newspaper.” Bottom of the first page bears a grisly image of the slain Siegal slumped over on his couch, an arrow pointing to a bullet hole in the window. Binding holes to left edge and mild toning, a bit heavier to edges, otherwise fine condition.
