June 17, 1953
A consecutive four issue set of the FITCHBURG SENTINEL, Massachusetts, dates of June 17, 18, 19 & 20, 1953. A nice set of newspapers each with a front page headline concerning the Julius & Ethel Rosenberg espionage case which was of international focus at the time.
The Rosenbergs were American communists who were executed after having been found guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage. The charges were in relation to the passing of information about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union. Theirs was the first execution of civilians for espionage in United States history.
The front page headlines include:
"Rosenbergs Get Indefinite Stay Of Execution"
"Rosenbergs' Fate Rests With Supreme Court"
"Full Supreme Court Upsets Douglas, Rosenbergs Doomed To Die Tonight"
"Spies Die In Silence"
There are many related subheads as well, several of which can be seen in the photos. Nice to have this consecutive set from their final four days.
Each issue is complete with all pages, have minor irregularity at the spines from disbinding, generally in very nice, clean condition.
