July 12, 1932

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 12, 1932

* Edward "Fats McCarthy" Popke
* Mad Dog Coll gang member


The front page has a one column heading: "KILL 'FATS' M'CARTHY AT ALBANY HIDEOUT" with subheads. (see) Lengthy 1st report coverage continues inside.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 38 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
