THE WORLD, New York City, November 18, 1894

* H.H. Holmes arrested (1st report)

The front page has one column headings: "$10,000 FOR A CORPSE" "H.H. Holmes, Alias Dr. Howe, Confesses to an Insurance Swindle" and more. (see) First report coverage on the arrest and indictment of H.H. Holmes, America's 1st serial killer. He would officially be arrested on this day. Great report here.
Complete in a 44 page Sunday edition, light toning, a little margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
