* Death sentence for murder
* Jack the Ripper connection


The front page has one column headings that include: "Will They Hang A Woman?", "Mrs. Maybrick Found Guilty of Poisoning her Husband", "Sentence To Death Immediately Pronounced" and more (see photos). 1st report coverage on the death sentence handed down to Florence Maybrick, for the murder of her husband, James Maybrick. James was one of several suspected men of being "Jack the Ripper", famed Whitechapel, London serial killer.

Other news of the day. Light browning, a little margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
