B-Z, Berlin, Germany, December 23, 1989 * Berlin Wall falls * Brandenburg Gate opens A great issue on the fall of the Berlin Wall, with a banner headline proclaiming (translated): "Berlin, Rejoice!" The front page photo shows a huge crowd at the Brandenburg Gate, apparently oblivious to the rain & storm of that day, as they prepare to celebrate Christmas without the Wall. Some very nice photos on pages 2-5, two showing restraining gates run over due to the huge, pressing crowd. Tabloid-size, complete in 32 pages, very nice condition.

THE HAYS DAILY NEWS, Kansas, dated August 25, 1991  The key feature in this complete 24 page issue if the front page headline, "Gorbachev resigns as Communist Party chief", with considerable supporting text.  The issue is in very good overall condition, but a former subscribers stamp has left a removal mark which impacts the 1st two letters of the word "Party" in the headline (see images).  Nice to have as newspapers from the 1990's are difficult to find (most were microfilmed and destroyed).

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, August 15, 1936 * Rainey Bethea Hanged * Last public execution in the U.S. * Olympic basketball debuts This 30 page newspaper has one column headlines on the back page (page 30) that include: "10,000 SEE HANGING OF KENTUCKY NEGRO" ,"Woman Sheriff Avoids Public Appearance as Ex-Policeman Springs Trap", "CROWD JEERS AT CULPRIT" and more. (see) Tells of very last public execution in the United States. Other news of the day throughout including the very 1st Olympic basketball gold medal game in Olympics history. (see) Various shades of browning, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: Rainey Bethea (Unknown[1] – August 14, 1936) was the last person to be publicly executed in the United States. Bethea, who was black, confessed to the rape and murder of a 70-year-old white woman named Lischia Edwards, and after being convicted of her rape, he was publicly hanged in Owensboro, Kentucky. Mistakes in executing the hanging and the surrounding media circus contributed to the end of public executions in the United States. Although the crime was infamous in the surrounding areas, it came to nationwide attention due to one fact — the sheriff of Daviess County was a woman. Florence Thompson had become sheriff on April 13, 1936 after her husband, Everett, who was elected sheriff in 1933, unexpectedly died of pneumonia on April 10, 1936. As sheriff of the county, it was her duty to hang Bethea. Among the hundreds of letters that Sheriff Thompson received after it came to public attention she would perform the hanging was one from Arthur L. Hash, a former Louisville police officer, who offered his services free of charge to perform the execution. Thompson quickly decided to accept this offer. He only asked that she not make his name public. Thompson also received a letter from the Chief Deputy United States Marshal for the District of Indiana, telling her of a farmer from Epworth, Illinois, named G. Phil Hanna, who had assisted with hangings across the country. Bethea's hanging would be the 70th which Hanna had supervised. He himself never pulled the trigger that released the trapdoor, and the only thing he asked for in return was the weapon used in the crime. Hanna developed his interest in the "art" of hanging after he witnessed the botched execution of Fred Beheme at McLeansboro, Illinois, in 1896, which had resulted in the condemned man suffering greatly. As such, Hanna saw it as his main task to provide whatever assistance he could to ensure a quick, painless death. Hanna did not always succeed in this endeavor — during the hanging of James Johnson on March 26, 1920, the rope broke and Johnson fell to the ground and was severely injured. Hanna had to descend the steps, carry the injured Johnson back to the scaffold, and proceed with his execution. On August 6, 1936, the Governor of Kentucky, Albert Chandler, signed Bethea's execution warrant and set the execution for sunrise on August 14. However, Sheriff Thompson requested the governor to issue a revised death warrant because the original warrant specified that the hanging would take place in the courthouse yard, where the county, at significant expense, had recently planted new shrubs and flowers. Chandler was out-of-state, so Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky Keen Johnson signed a second death warrant, moving the location of the hanging from the courthouse yard to an empty lot near the county garage. Rainey Bethea's last meal consisted of fried chicken, pork chops, mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers, cornbread, lemon pie, and ice cream, which he ate at 4:00 p.m. on August 13 in Louisville. At about 1:00 a.m., Daviess County deputy sheriffs transported Bethea from Louisville to Owensboro. At the jail, Hanna visited Bethea and instructed him to stand on the X that would be marked on the trapdoor. It was estimated that a crowd of 20,000 people gathered to watch the execution, with thousands coming from out of town. Hash arrived drunk at the site, wearing a white suit and a white Panama hat. At this time, no one but he and Thompson knew he would be pulling the trigger. Bethea left the Daviess County Jail at 5:21 a.m. and walked with two deputies to the scaffold. Within two minutes, he was at the base of the scaffold. Removing his shoes, he put on a new pair of socks. He ascended the steps and stood on the large X as instructed. He made no final statement to the waiting crowd. After making his final confession to Father Lammers, of the Cathedral of the Assumption in Louisville, the black hood was placed over his head, and three large straps placed around his ankles, thighs, arms and chest. Hanna placed the noose around Bethea's neck, adjusted it, and then signaled to Hash to pull the trigger. Instead, Hash, who was drunk, did nothing. Hanna shouted at Hash, "Do it!" and a deputy leaned onto the trigger which sprung the trap door. Throughout all of this, the crowd was hushed. Bethea fell eight feet, and his neck was instantly broken. About 14 minutes later, two doctors confirmed Bethea was dead. After the noose was removed, his body was taken to Andrew & Wheatley Funeral Home. He had wanted his body sent to his sister in South Carolina. Instead, he was buried in a pauper's grave at the Elmwood Cemetery in Owensboro. Many newspapers, having spent considerable sums of money to cover the first execution of a man by a woman, were disappointed and took liberties with their reporting, describing it as a "Roman Holiday," falsely reporting that the crowd rushed the gallows to claim souvenirs, some even falsely reporting Thompson fainted at the base of the scaffold. Afterwards, Hanna complained that Hash should not have been allowed to perform the execution in his drunken condition. Hanna further said it was the worst display he experienced in the 70 hangings he had supervised.

ALBANY EVENING NEWS, New York, NY, March 24, 1934 * 1st Masters Tournament * Bobby Jones This 16 page newspaper has a banner headline on page 8: "Jones, Playing Raggedly, Takes 38 to Turn as Tourney Hopes Begin to Fade" with subheads. (see) This was the very first Master's making this a very significant issue for any golf collector. Other news of the day. Light browning with little spine wear, otherwise good. wikipedia notes: The first "Augusta National Invitation" Tournament, as the Masters was originally known, began on March 22, 1934, and was won by Horton Smith. The present name was adopted in 1939. The Masters Tournament, also known as The Masters, or The U.S. Masters outside of the United States, is one of four major championships in men's professional golf. Scheduled for the first full week of April, it is the first of the majors to be played each year. Unlike the other major championships, the Masters is held each year at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf club in the city of Augusta, Georgia, USA. The Masters was started by Clifford Roberts and Bobby Jones,[1] who designed Augusta National with course architect Alister MacKenzie. The tournament is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the PGA European Tour and the Japan Golf Tour. The field of players is smaller than those of the other major championships because it is an invitational event, entry being controlled by the Augusta National Golf Club. The tournament has a number of traditions. A green jacket is awarded to the winner of each tournament, which must be returned to the clubhouse after a year. The Champions dinner, inaugurated by Ben Hogan, is held on the Tuesday before each tournament, and is only open to past champions and certain board members of the Augusta National Golf Club. Beginning in 1963 legendary golfers, usually past champions, have hit a honorary tee shot on the morning of the first round. Such golfers have included Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Arnold Palmer, who has hit the tee shot the last two years. Since 1960 a semi-social Par 3 Contest, on a par-3 course on Augusta National's grounds, has been played on the day before the first round of each Masters Tournament. Jack Nicklaus has won more Masters Tournaments than any other golfer, winning six times between 1963 and 1986. Other multiple winners include Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods, with four apiece. Gary Player, from South Africa, was the first non-American player to win the tournament in 1961. The tournament organisers regularly extend the length and layout of the course to meet developments in equipment technology and player skill, a practice which began after the arrival of Tiger Woods at the 1997 tournament.

ALBANY EVENING NEWS, New York, NY, March 24, 1934 * 1st Masters Tournament * Bobby Jones This 16 page newspaper has a banner headline on page 8: "Jones, Playing Raggedly, Takes 38 to Turn as Tourney Hopes Begin to Fade" with subheads. (see) This was the very first Master's making this a very significant issue for any golf collector. Other news of the day. Light browning with little spine wear, otherwise good. wikipedia notes: The first "Augusta National Invitation" Tournament, as the Masters was originally known, began on March 22, 1934, and was won by Horton Smith. The present name was adopted in 1939. The Masters Tournament, also known as The Masters, or The U.S. Masters outside of the United States, is one of four major championships in men's professional golf. Scheduled for the first full week of April, it is the first of the majors to be played each year. Unlike the other major championships, the Masters is held each year at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club, a private golf club in the city of Augusta, Georgia, USA. The Masters was started by Clifford Roberts and Bobby Jones,[1] who designed Augusta National with course architect Alister MacKenzie. The tournament is an official money event on the PGA Tour, the PGA European Tour and the Japan Golf Tour. The field of players is smaller than those of the other major championships because it is an invitational event, entry being controlled by the Augusta National Golf Club.

THE NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, October 24, 1929  Of the several dates of this famous New York City newspaper which reported the events of the stock market crash in late October this was the very first.  The top of the last tow columns on the front page report: "Stocks Off 5 Billion In Severest Break Of Wall St. History". There are one column subheads as well: "Savage Bear Attacks, With Forced Selling of Big Bull Accounts, Almost Paralyzes Market in Last Hour" "181 New Lows Set, Average is Off 6.24" "Adams Express Plunges 96 Points, Day's Record Loss; 2,500,000 Shares Sold in 60 Min. Debacle". The report on the crash carries over to page 37 with a one column head: "Stocks Crash 5 to 7 Billions In Last Hour", plus there is a report headed: "Comments On Wall Street". What is very curious is another article on page 37, datelined Oct. 23, headed: "Stock Advances Not Due to Speculation, Says Fisher" "Holds High Levels Are Justified by Increased Earnings" (see photos). Shows what a difference a day makes. Of the thousands of newspapers in print in the United States in 1929, the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE would rank among the more desired in reporting not just this 1929 crash, but any historic financial report as Wall Street was located in New York City. This is the complete 48 page issue, some minor chipping at the right & bottom margins of the first two leaves touching a few letters (see), some minor tears at the margins, particularly at the edge of the central fold, five small binding holes at the blank spine margin, inked subscription address in the upper right corner. Generally in nice condition as more typically newspapers of this vintage are in quite poor condition.

THE DAILY PICAYUNE, New Orleans, Dec. 19, 1903  The significance of the report within the issue is equaled only by the insignificance of its placement & focus, as this newspaper gives a first report of the first manned flight, an event which would change the world forever and become a defining event of the 20th century. Less than 66 years after the Wright brothers successful flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, man was walking on the moon. Page 15 of this 16 page newspaper contains a report near the bottom of the page which is headed: "MACHINE FLIES" "Successful Trial Trip Near Kitty Hawk, N.C." "Two Six Blade Propellers, Operated by Gasoline Engine, Furnish Motive Power". The full text of the report can be seen in the photos--and is actually longer than most newspaper accounts, which rarely extended beyond one paragraph--includes near the beginning: "A successful trial trip of a flying machine was made yesterday near Kitty Hawk, N.C. by Wilbur and Orville Wright, of Dayton, Ohio. The machine few for three miles...and then gracefully descended to earth at the spot selected by the man in the navigator's car...The machine has no balloon attachment..." with more (see).  Apparently few recognized then how this event would change the world. Complete in 16 pages, some browning or light dirtiness to an upper quadrant of the front page, cleanly loose at the spine, some minor margin wear. Actually in better condition than most newspapers of this vintage, as typically early 20th century issues are exceedingly pulpish and fragile. But this issue must be handled carefully too.

LEOMINSTER ENTERPRISE, Leominster, Massachusetts, August 14, 1965 * Watts Riots * Los Angeles, California This 8 page newspaper has a nice banner headline on the front page: "Three-Day L. A. Riot Halted" with subhead: "Eight Lose Lives; Hundreds Injured" Tells of the Watts riots in Los Angeles California. Other news of the day. Minor spine wear, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: The riots began on August 11, 1965, in Watts, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, when Lee Minikus, a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer, pulled over Marquette Frye, who Minikus believed was intoxicated because of his observed erratic driving. Frye failed to pass sobriety tests, including walking in a straight line and touching his nose, and was arrested soon after. Minikus refused to let Frye's brother, Ronald, drive the car home, and radioed for it to be impounded. As events escalated, a crowd of onlookers steadily grew from dozens to hundreds. The mob became violent, throwing rocks and other objects while shouting at the police officers. A struggle ensued shortly resulting in the arrest of Marquette and Ronald Frye, as well as their mother. Burning buildings during the riots. Though the riots began in August, there had previously been a buildup of racial tension in the area. The riots that began on August 11 resulted from an amalgamation of such events in Watts, and the arrest of three Frye family members broke the tension as violence spilled onto the streets of Watts for six days. After the news and emerging rumors spread from the angry mob to other residents, aggressive acts of violence broke out across the city, making Watts a serious danger zone. Watts suffered from various forms and degrees of damage from the looting, fighting, and vandalism that seriously threatened the security of the city. Some participants chose to intensify the level of violence by starting physical fights with police, blocking the firemen of the Los Angeles Fire Department from their safety duties, or even beating white motorists. Others joined the riot by breaking into stores, stealing whatever they could, and some setting the stores themselves on fire. The majority of the residents simply wandered the streets choosing to encourage the active rioters and give the police a difficult time rather than getting directly involved. A few did not join in the violence at all, but simply just chose to continue their daily routine while observing the chaos. LAPD Police Chief William Parker also fueled the radicalized tension that already threatened to combust, by publicly labeling the people he saw involved in the riots as "monkeys in the zoo". Overall, an estimated $40 million in damage was caused as almost 1,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Most of the physical damage was confined to white-owned businesses that were said to have caused resentment in the neighborhood due to perceived unfairness. Homes were not attacked, although some caught fire due to proximity to other fires.

SPRINGFIELD DAILY REPUBLICAN, Springfield, Massachusetts, August 8, 1925 * Negro lynching * Excelsior Springs, Missouri * Depression era This 14 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page: "MISSOURI MOB LYNCHES NEGRO" and "Rushes Jail at Excelsior Springs During False Alarm of Fire--Kansas City Police Too Late". Depression era lynching in the Midwest. Other news of the day throughout. Usual browning with little margin wear, otherwise good. wikipedia notes: The day of August 6, 1925, proved to be one of Excelsior Springs darkest moments. This day was when the lynching of 33-year-old Walter Mitchell occurred, and he was hung from a tree beside the Wabash railroad tracks. The police cut down his body as a huge crowd of spectators gathered with disbelief. Most had come out of curiosity, not anger, many of them in disbelief at what they had witnessed. The realization of what they had seen could now never be undone, and would stay with many of them forever. Mitchell was accused of sexually assaulting a young woman and was promptly arrested and held at the Clay County Jail in nearby Liberty, Missouri. A group of men then dragged Mitchell to the scene of the crime where he was hung. Mitchell had been acquainted with purported victim. She was the girlfriend of one of Mitchell's partners in a cattle-stealing operation that took place in Clay and Platte counties during the mid-1920s. The assault allegations were a result of a falling out amongst partners. The Excelsior Springs Call newspaper reported that Mitchell was guilty of stealing cattle, but not the crime he was hung for.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, August 11, 1942 * re. Mahatma Gandhi arrest * Battle of Guadalcanal begins * Solomon Islands * World War II original This 38 page newspaper has a three column headline on the front page: "INDIAN RIOTS SPREAD" with subheads. (see) Reports on the rioting in India just after the arrest of Gandhi. Other news of the day with much on world war II. Rag edition in great condition. wikipedia notes: Gandhi and the entire Congress Working Committee were arrested in Bombay by the British on 9 August 1942. Gandhi was held for two years in the Aga Khan Palace in Pune. It was here that Gandhi suffered two terrible blows in his personal life. His 50-year old secretary Mahadev Desai died of a heart attack 6 days later and his wife Kasturba died after 18 months imprisonment in 22 February 1944; six weeks later Gandhi suffered a severe malaria attack. He was released before the end of the war on 6 May 1944 because of his failing health and necessary surgery; the Raj did not want him to die in prison and enrage the nation. wikipedia notes: The Guadalcanal Campaign, also known as the Battle of Guadalcanal, was fought between August 7, 1942, and February 9, 1943, in the Pacific theater of World War II. Fought on the ground, at sea, and in the air, this was a strategically significant, and decisive, campaign which pitted Allied forces against Imperial Japanese forces. The fighting took place on and around the island of Guadalcanal in the southern Solomon Islands, and was the first major offensive launched by Allied forces against the Empire of Japan.[8] On August 7, 1942, Allied forces, predominantly composed of troops from the United States, initiated landings on the islands of Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and Florida in the southern Solomons with the objective of denying their use by Japanese forces as bases to threaten supply routes between the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. The Allies also intended to use Guadalcanal and Tulagi as bases to support a campaign to eventually capture or neutralize the major Japanese base at Rabaul on New Britain. The initial Allied landings overwhelmed the outnumbered Japanese defenders, who had occupied the islands in May 1942, and resulted in the capture of Tulagi and Florida as well as an airfield (later named Henderson Field) that was under construction by the Japanese on Guadalcanal. Surprised by the Allied offensive, the Japanese made several attempts between August and November 1942 to retake Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. These attempts resulted in three major land battles, five large naval battles, and continuous, almost daily, aerial battles, culminating in the decisive Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in early November 1942, in which the last Japanese attempt to land enough troops to capture Henderson Field was defeated. In December 1942, the Japanese abandoned further efforts to retake Guadalcanal and evacuated their remaining forces from the island by February 7, 1943, leaving the island in Allied hands. The Guadalcanal campaign marked the first significant strategic combined arms victory by Allied forces over the Japanese in the Pacific theater. For this reason, the Guadalcanal campaign is often referred to as a "turning point" in the war. The campaign marked the beginning of the transition by the Allies from defensive operations to the strategic offensive while Japan was thereafter forced to cease strategic offensive operations and instead concentrate on strategic defense. Building on their success at Guadalcanal and elsewhere, the Allies continued their campaign against Japan, ultimately culminating in Japan's defeat and the end of World War II.

The Allies also intended to use Guadalcanal and Tulagi as bases to support a campaign to eventually capture or neutralize the major Japanese base at Rabaul on New Britain. The initial Allied landings overwhelmed the outnumbered Japanese defenders, who had occupied the islands in May 1942, and resulted in the capture of Tulagi and Florida as well as an airfield (later named Henderson Field) that was under construction by the Japanese on Guadalcanal. Surprised by the Allied offensive, the Japanese made several attempts between August and November 1942 to retake Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. These attempts resulted in three major land battles, five large naval battles, and continuous, almost daily, aerial battles, culminating in the decisive Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in early November 1942, in which the last Japanese attempt to land enough troops to capture Henderson Field was defeated. In December 1942, the Japanese abandoned further efforts to retake Guadalcanal and evacuated their remaining forces from the island by February 7, 1943, leaving the island in Allied hands. The Guadalcanal campaign marked the first significant strategic combined arms victory by Allied forces over the Japanese in the Pacific theater. For this reason, the Guadalcanal campaign is often referred to as a "turning point" in the war. The campaign marked the beginning of the transition by the Allies from defensive operations to the strategic offensive while Japan was thereafter forced to cease strategic offensive operations and instead concentrate on strategic defense. Building on their success at Guadalcanal and elsewhere, the Allies continued their campaign against Japan, ultimately culminating in Japan's defeat and the end of World War II.

WILMINGTON MORNING STAR, North Carolina, June 13 & 14, 1942 * USS Lexington 'Gray Lady' disaster * Battle of Coral Sea - World War II * Oklahoma City OK tornado The June 13th issue has one column headlines on the front page that include: "CARRIER LOST IN CORAL SEA" and more. (see) You also get the June 14th issue which has a front page photo of the evacuation of the USS Lexington. (see) This battle actually happened a month earlier but is just now being made public. Much on World War II events of the day. Each issue is 10 & 20 pages. Light browning with some spine wear and a small address label on the front, otherwise good. wikipedia notes: On 7 May, search planes reported contact with an enemy carrier task force. Lexington's air group sank Shōhō. Later that day, 12 bombers and 15 torpedo planes from Shōkaku and Zuikaku were intercepted by fighter groups from Lexington and Yorktown, which shot down nine enemy aircraft. On the morning of the 8th, a Lexington plane located the Shōkaku group; a strike was immediately launched from the American carriers, and the Japanese carrier was heavily damaged. However, enemy planes penetrated the American defenses at 1100, and 20 minutes later Lexington was struck by a torpedo to port. Seconds later, a second torpedo hit her portside directly abeam the bridge. At the same time, she took three bomb hits from enemy dive bombers, producing a 7 degree list to port and several raging fires. By 1300, skilled damage control had brought the fires under control and restored her to an even keel; making 25 kn (28.8 mph, 46.3 km/h), she was ready to recover her air group. Lexington was suddenly shaken by a tremendous explosion, caused by the ignition of gasoline vapors below, and again fire raged out of control. At 1558, Captain Frederick Carl Sherman, fearing for the safety of men working below, secured salvage operations, and ordered all hands to the flight deck. At 1701, he ordered "abandon ship" and the orderly disembarkation began. Men going over the side into the warm water were almost immediately picked up by nearby cruisers and destroyers. Admiral Aubrey Wray Fitch and his staff transferred to Minneapolis; Captain Sherman and his executive officer, Commander Morton T. Seligman ensured all their men were safe, then were the last to leave.

<div>THE WORLD, New York, NY, November 9, 1923 * Beer Hall Putsch (early 1st report) * Early Adolph Hitler This 28 page newspaper has a small breaking news one column headline on the front page: "BAVARIA IN REVOLT; LUDENDORFF AT HELM". Other news of the day throughout. Lite browning with little margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care. Historical Background: "Adolf Hitler, president of the far-right Nazi Party, launches the Beer Hall Putsch, his first attempt at seizing control of the German government. </div> <div> After World War I, the victorious allies demanded billions of dollars in war reparations from Germany. Efforts by Germany's democratic government to comply hurt the country's economy and led to severe inflation. The German mark, which at the beginning of 1921 was valued at five marks per dollar, fell to a disastrous four billion marks per dollar in 1923. Meanwhile, the ranks of the nationalist Nazi Party swelled with resentful Germans who sympathized with the party's bitter hatred of the democratic government, leftist politics, and German Jews. In early November 1923, the government resumed war-reparation payments, and the Nazis decided to strike. Hitler planned a coup against the state government of Bavaria, which he hoped would spread to the dissatisfied German army, which in turn would bring down the central, democratic government in Berlin. On the evening of November 8, Nazi forces under Hermann Goering surrounded the Munich beer hall where Bavarian government officials were meeting with local business leaders. A moment later, Hitler burst in with a group of Nazi storm troopers, discharged his pistol into the air, and declared that "the national revolution has begun." Threatened at gunpoint, the Bavarian leaders reluctantly agreed to support Hitler's new regime. In the early morning of November 9, however, the Bavarian leaders repudiated their coerced support of Hitler and ordered a rapid suppression of the Nazis. At dawn, government troops surrounded the main Nazi force occupying the War Ministry building. A desperate Hitler responded by leading a march toward the center of Munich in a last-ditch effort to rally support. Near the War Ministry building, 3,000 Nazi marchers came face to face with 100 armed policemen. Shots were exchanged, and 16 Nazis and three policemen were killed. Hermann Goering was shot in the groin, and Hitler suffered a dislocated elbow but managed to escape. Three days later, Hitler was arrested. Convicted of treason, he was given the minimum sentence of five years in prison. He was imprisoned in the Landsberg fortress and spent his time writing his autobiography, Mein Kampf, and working on his oratorical skills. Political pressure from the Nazis forced the Bavarian government to commute Hitler's sentence, and he was released after serving only nine months. In the late 1920s, Hitler reorganized the Nazi Party as a fanatical mass movement that was able to gain a majority in the Reichstag in 1932. By 1934, Hitler was the sole master of a nation intent on war and genocide." source: history channel. </div>

FITCHBURG SENTINEL, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, August 8, 1927 * Sacco and Vanzetti faces the electric chair * New York City residents protest death sentence This 12 page newspaper has a nice banner headline on the front page: "SANDERSON DENIES WRITS IN SACCO-VANZETTI CASE" with subheads. (see) Other news of the day. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: Ferdinando Nicola Sacco (April 22, 1891) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (June 11, 1888) both executed August 23, 1927, were two Italian-born laborers and anarchists who were tried, convicted and executed via electrocution on August 23, 1927 in Massachusetts for the 1920 armed robbery and murder of a pay-clerk and a security guard in Braintree, Massachusetts. Today, the case continues to incite controversy based on questions regarding culpability, the question of the innocence or guilt of Sacco and Vanzetti, and conformance, the question of whether the trials were fair to Sacco and Vanzetti. On August 23, 1977, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis signed a proclamation declaring, "Any stigma and disgrace should be forever removed from the names of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. We are not here to say whether these men are guilty or innocent. We are here to say that the high standards of justice, which we in Massachusetts take such pride in, failed Sacco and Vanzetti."

THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Springfield, Massachusetts, November 7, 1935 * Billy Sunday death (1st report) * Famous baseball player and evangelist This 16 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page: "'BILLY' SUNDAY, AGED 72, DIES IN CHICAGO HOME", "Well Known Evangelist and Former Big League Ball Player Succumbs to Angina Pectoris" with photo of Sunday. (see) Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise good. wikipedia notes: William Ashley "Billy" Sunday (November 19, 1862 – November 6, 1935) was an American athlete and religious figure who, after being a popular outfielder in baseball's National League during the 1880s, became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century. Born into poverty, Sunday spent some years in an orphanage before taking a series of odd jobs in several small Iowa towns as he demonstrated his prowess in amateur athletics. His exceptional speed provided him the opportunity to play baseball in the major leagues for eight years. He was known for his daring base-running and dramatic outfield play, but he was only an average hitter. Converted to evangelical Christianity in the 1880s, Sunday left baseball for the Christian ministry. He gradually developed his skills as a pulpit evangelist in the Midwest and then, during the early 20th century, he became the nation's most famous evangelist with his colloquial sermons and frenetic delivery. Sunday held heavily reported campaigns in America's largest cities, made a great deal of money, and was welcomed into the homes of the wealthy and influential. Perhaps more than a million people came forward at his invitations, and he may have personally preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to more people than any other person in history up to that time. Sunday was a strong supporter of Prohibition, and his preaching almost certainly played a significant role in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919. Despite questions about his income, no scandal ever touched Sunday. He was sincerely devoted to his wife, who also managed his campaigns. But his three sons disappointed him, and his audiences grew smaller during the 1920s as Sunday grew older and alternate sources of entertainment preoccupied his countrymen. Nevertheless, he continued to preach and remained a stalwart bolster of conservative Christianity until his death.

THE DAY, New London CT Connecticut, June 10, 1931 * HMS Poseidon submarine sinking * United Kingdom Royal Navy This 16 page newspaper has a two column headline on the front page: "Eight Trapped in Sunken British Sub". Light browning, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: HMS Poseidon (P99) was a Parthian class submarine designed and built for the United Kingdom Royal Navy, launched in 1929. It spent most of its short career assigned to the Yellow Sea region. At about 12:45 pm on 9 June 1931, whilst exercising on the surface with the submarine tender HMS Marazion 20 miles north of the vessels' base at Weihai, China and despite excellent visibility Poseidon collided with the Chinese merchant steamer SS Yuta. Thirty of the submarine's crew managed to scramble into the water before the submarine sank to the seabed 130 feet below within a few minutes. Poseidon was equipped with Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus which had come into service two years earlier. This was a closed circuit underwater breathing system which provided the wearer with a supply of pure oxygen and a canvas drogue to slow the rate of ascent. Despite the submarine not being equipped with specialised escape compartments or flooding valves, eight of the crew managed to leave the forward end of the boat, although two failed to reach the surface and one died later. 22 crew died in total. A consequence of the successful escape of part of the crew was to change Admiralty policy from advising crews to wait for the arrival of assistance to attempting to escape from the submarine as soon as possible. This policy was announced in the House of Commons in March 1934.
