THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, January 25, 1935.
* SS Mohawk shipwreck
* Ward Line ocean liner
* New Jersey coast collision
* Charles Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping Trial
* Bruno Hauptmann takes the stand
The top of the front page has a one column heading: "190 Are Saved as Ward Liner Sinks in Crash" with subhead and photo. (see images) Early coverage here as the report suggests all were saved when in fact 47 would go down with the ship.
The front page also has a five column headline: "Hauptmann Tells Own Story to Jury; Says He Was Home on Ransom Night; 2 Witnesses Fail to Back Kidnap Alibi" with subheads.
Complete with 24 pages, light toning and and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
