- W Here you have the rst actual photo- " graphic story ever published of_the l e world famous beer wars of Chicago I». ~- vo I Gangland. It begins with the murder of Diamond Jim Colo- simo at the dawn of prohibition, and it continues on up through the years, death by death, until the killers of Gangland nally gradu- ated from murder to massacre on St. Valentine's day, 1929, and more recently hit one below the belt i by assassinating Alfred Jake Lingle, a newspaper reporter. 1 With the country-wide publication of the massacre photograph, public indifference to Gangland's crimes came to an abrupt end. The work ,...1 of destroying organized crime in Chicago began determinedly, coldly, sternly. To usea phrase borrowed from Gangland, the exponents of the "gat and the machine gun are today being pushed around by Decency and Integrity, and they must surely fall into the abyss of oblivion. X What has brought about this uprising? More than any other single factor has been the wide and unceasing publicity given to I Gangla nd s activities. X It was this fact that gave the authors the idea for this book. Newspaper reporters of long Chicago police experience, they realized that any book showing the criminals of Booze- I dom as they really are would necessarily be one of brutality and blood and horror. Only in such a book could it be done. Q X Marks The Spot is the result. In its terrible Truth, this book will become F of tremendous value in obliterating gangsters from the Chicago scene. The publication of death 0 pictures in newspapers is becoming more common every day. Editors have at last realized the terri c force a death picture can exert, particularly in driving home the lesson that the underworld has present day civilization in its grip. 1' The ultimate good of the death picture far outweighs the shock that it may have on a certain delicate emotional segment of the newspaper readers. A famous New York news- paper editor commenting in Editor & Publisher recently on the publication of the Valentine massacre picture, declared that it was a more powerful example of the de ance of law and order by the under- '92world than could be drawn by twenty- ve columns of editorials. 3" In Chicago the tendency to pub- 92 lish death pictures, particularly of slain gangsters, is de nite and growing. And the result is the pass- ing of the gangster. It is interesting to speculate on what the effect might have been on crime in Chicago 92 if this tendency had manifested itself on page one four or ve years ago. A" X Marks The Spot publishes those pictures for the rst time. The body of the gangster which was blotted out and an X substituted ls is restored as the camera saw it. You have read the story in countless volumes, now, for the rst time you can see it. You will see Chicago crime put on the spot.

From every province of the underworld came representatives to a great meet- _- nail Llj g ing and when it was over they all departed to their rackets crying All for Al, and Al for All." With no intention of eulogizing him, Capone unquestionably stands out a the greatest and most successful gangster who ever lived.
