[CHICAGO]. McCUTCHEON, John (1870-1949). One Business that seems to be getting back to normalcy again. "Capone & Co." pen and ink cartoon. Pen and ink cartoon, 1930, visible 14 1/4 x 17 5/8 in., minor toning, framed to 15 7/8 x 19 1/4 in., not examined out of frame. Signed "McCutcheon". A printed Chicago Tribune copyright statement affixed to lower margin. The cartoon shows a truck labeled "Capone & Co." ladened with beer barrels running over two men labeled "The Moran-Aiello Gang", a reference to AL Capone rivals Bugs Moran and Joe Aiello. The truck is shown the right of way by a police officer labeled "Politics." Two onlookers comment: "Well it looks as though the scare following the Lingle Killing has about blown over." With the caption "One Business that seems to be getting back to normalcy again." The Lingle killing refers to the gangland-style murder of Jake Lingle (1891-1930), a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. Although initially treated as a martyred journalist, it was uncovered that he was involved in Capone's racketeering organization. John T. McCutcheon was a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and war journalist for the Chicago Tribune who was known as the "Dean of American Cartoonists." Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
