Leo Frank Lynched in 1915...



Item # 567899

August 20, 1915

FITCHBURG SENTINEL, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, August 20, 1915  This 12 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page: "GALLOWS TREE IS NOW UNDER GUARD" "Great Crowds Throng Around Spot Where Frank Was Hung; Squable Over Jurisdiction".

Tells of the recent lynching of Leo Frank for the murder of a young girl.

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