Newspaper headlines of the gangster era

The front page of the 'Evening Monitor', Night Extra, carries the headline 'Railway Station Massacre! 4 Officers Slain; 2 Wounded' above columns reading 'Bullets fly as gangland again defeats officers' and 'Bystanders are endangered'; the 'Daily Times' follows with 'Crime Wave Sweeps Midwest!'; then the dark body of a car at night, lit by flashes. The invented newspaper names suggest props from a Hollywood gangster film; the first headline recalls the Kansas City massacre of 17 June 1933, in which four law officers were killed.
