Description

John Dillinger Newspaper

Original Page 3 from the July 23, 1934, edition of The Baltimore News and the Post, with the banner across the top stating “First Pictures of Desperado Dillinger Slaying in Chicago,” with eight large photographs taking up the entire page. Photos include a group standing around Dillinger’s blood stains in the alley where he was killed; Dillinger at the age of three with his mother; a woman who was injured in the shootout; three of Dillinger’s women in tears after his demise, and one of Dillinger shackled to a deputy sheriff during a line-up. There are several more pages stuck to the reverse of page three. In good condition, with toning, a small replacement to end of headline, and paper loss and chipping to the very fragile edges.
