On November 21, 1914, the 24-year old B&O railroad switchman was shot and killed on Cleveland's west side. Just two days later, the city's news media was already attempting to sway public opinion as to why and how he died. The Cleveland Press (left) was the city's most popular newspaper at the time and ostensibly not involved in the ongoing Circulation War between the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Cleveland Leader. The Cleveland News (right), however, had a distinct bias as it was owned by the same company that published the Cleveland Leader. | Creator: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper CollectionDownload Original File
