Serial killer & rapist Albert Fish in custody......



Item # 679133

December 22, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 22, 1934

* Albert Fish gets identified in jail
* Serial killer, child rapist and cannibal
* "The Boogey Man" - "Gray Man"
* "Brooklyn Vampire" - "Werewolf of Wysteria"


The top of the back page has a one column heading: "FISH IS SINGLED OUT IN ANOTHER KILLING" with subheads. (see) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not, probably because he committed his crimes locally. Rare as such.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 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.
