Fascinating 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 news service photo diagram from 1934 illustrating how gangster and public enemy number one, John Dillinger, was trapped and shot after watching a gangster movie in Chicago. Superimposed on the photo image of the notorious Chicago street corner are the hand drawn images of the participants in this real-life crime drama. This is amazing, vintage newspaper art! Photo is in EX condition with original caption sheet affixed to verso. Great conversation piece!
