* Etta L. Fairchild murder
* Witch's spell killing - wicca
* Eugene & Pearl Burgess
* Kalamazoo, Michigan


The front page has a nice banner headline: "MYSTERY WOMAN HUNTED IN 'HEX' MURDER; KILLERS CONTENT, HAPPY" with subheads and related pictorial. (see images) Nice for display. Lengthy coverage continues on page 3. First report coverage on the killing of Etta Fairchild by Eugene and Pearl Burgess at Kalamazoo, Michigan. This would end up to be the last 'witch trial' in America.
Complete with 22 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
