THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, May 24, 1958 

* Charles Starkweather death sentence 
* Caril Fugate
 

This 24 page newspaper has two column headlines on the front page: "Mass Slayer To Get Chair,"
"Starkweather Silent, but--'He Got What He Wanted"
with photo of Starkweather (see images). Tells of the death sentence imposed on spree killer Charles Starkweather.

Other news of the day. Some small binding holes along the spine, otherwise good.

wikipedia notes: Charles Raymond Starkweather (November 24, 1938 – June 25, 1959) was an American spree killer who murdered eleven people in Nebraska and Wyoming during a two-month road trip with his 14-year-old girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate. The couple was captured on January 29, 1958, with Starkweather being sentenced to death, and Fugate serving a 17-year prison sentence.
