THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 17, 1937

* Helen Tiernan (Murder Mommy)
* Hatchet Murderess whose kids where in the way
* Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "GIRL SLAIN IN WOOD AND BODY BURNED; BOY FOUND KNIFED" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on murder of 7 year old Helen Tiernan. I would soon be known that the killer was her own mother who wanted to get rid of her kids because of a love affair.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 40 pages, rag edition in nice condition.
