August 12, 1892

FITCHBURG SENTINEL, Massachusetts, Aug. 12, 1892 

* Lizzie Borden arrested
* Hatchet murders


The top of the back page has one column heads: "LIZZIE IS ARRESTED" "An Important Move in the Borden Murder Mystery" "She Lies As In A Trance" and more (see). The article is quite detailed, taking almost an entire column. Great to have in what is almost a "hometown" newspaper as Fitchburg is less than 90 miles from Fall River, the scene of the Borden ax murders.
Complete in 8 pages, irregular at the spine margin, a few discrete archival mends, generally good.
