Serial killer & rapist Albert Fish trial eve...



Item # 711847

March 11, 1935

THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 11, 1935

* Albert H. Fish trial - creepy acts
* Serial killer, child rapist and cannibal
* "The Boogey Man" - "Gray Man"
* "Brooklyn Vampire" - "Werewolf of Wysteria"


The top of page 11 has a one column heading: "FISH ON TRIAL EVE, WOUNDS HIMSELF" with subheads. (see images) 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 and didn't become infamous until after the fact. Rare as such.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 pages, rag edition in very nice condition.
