| A July 2, 1945, issue of the Los Angeles Examiner has been listed on EBay. Notice that it's a war extra, presumably intended for street sales. This is not the edition people would have received at home. It's impossible to tell from the vendor's photo whether the "crime box" is on the front page. In the late 1940s, the Examiner published a daily list of crimes in Los Angeles and by 1947, when Elizabeth Short was killed, the box was fixed on Page 1. Earlier in the 1940s, however, the "crime box" had no fixed page and often ran inside. Bidding starts at $9.99. |
