* Serial killer Frederick Mors arrest
* NYC nursing home patients murders


The front page has a two column illustration of Mors with heading: "Probers Think Mors Has No Accomplices" (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper. Rare as such.
Complete with 12 pages, small library stamp within the masthead, irregular along the spine, generally nice.

wikipedia notes: Frederick Mors was an Austrian serial killer. Mors killed eight elderly patients by poison while employed in a nursing home in New York City. He was very cooperative, readily admitting to the murders when questioned by police. After being arrested, Mors was diagnosed as a megalomaniac and committed to an insane asylum. He later escaped.
