Shot from a Delivery Truck ID: 7555 | This file appears in: The Cleveland Circulation War In the evening hours of November 21, 1914, Thomas Gibbons was shot and killed by Harvey Callahan, a distributor for the Cleveland Leader. While the justification for the shooting was hotly contested by the Plain Dealer and Leader, most of the basic facts were not. Gibbons, in the company of William "Scance" Chambers, a distributor for the Plain Dealer, approached a Leader delivery truck parked on the south side of Detroit Avenue, just west of its intersection with West 75th Street. In the delivery truck were three Leader employees, including Callahan. An altercation occurred and Gibbons was shot. The above photo taken in 1920 is of a delivery truck that likely resembled the truck in which Callahan was riding when he shot Gibbons. | Creator: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special Collections Download Original File CreatorCleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special Collections "Shot from a Delivery Truck" appears in: The Cleveland Circulation War
