The Bismarck Tribune front page of 24 April 1930 carries an Associated Press story on the Chicago Crime Commission's published list of 28 gangsters, with Al Capone first.

Front page of the Bismarck Tribune, Thursday, 24 April 1930. The page is led by a story on unrest in India. The Chicago item is a lower headline, "Publish Hoodlum Who's Who with Al Capone Leading List," with the decks "Chicago Crime Commission Prepares Publicity for 28 Notorious Gangsters" and "Is Reminder to Officials," and a final deck, "'All for Law, and Law for All' Is Answer to 'All for Al, and Al for All.'"

The Associated Press story, datelined Chicago, 24 April, says the commission issued a "Who's Hoodlum in Chicago" list of 28 men, naming Capone first, and sent it to law-enforcement agencies as a reminder that they were considered public enemies. The same dispatch appears on the Brownsville Herald page of the same date, filed separately.

The list is the commission's own, not a government record, and the labels are the commission's and the paper's. The OCR of the story's body is partly garbled, but the headline and the lead paragraphs are clear. Headline as read from the Library of Congress OCR text of the page.
