The top of the front page has a one column heading: "JENNIE CRAMER'S DEATH" with subheads. (see images) This article provides coverage of the murder of Jennie E. Cramer (see background below).
Complete with 12 pages, light toning at the margins, a little irregular along the spine, generally good. Should be handled with care.
Background - Regarding this case, Encyclopedia.com states: "Possible witness bribery and an overly specific grand jury indictment helped wealthy defendants elude responsibility for one of Victorian New England's most notorious crimes... The jury acquitted the defendants in less than an hour. Douglass, James, and Walter were freed, but charges that the Malleys had bought their freedom dogged the family for decades. Despite Walter Malley's outspoken desire to discover the real killers, the Cramer case remains unsolved."
