SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE lot of 25 consecutively dated issues of a newspaper, the Bennington Evening Banner (VT) dated from Sept 1-29, 1934. These were at one time bound together in a library bound volume of newspapers. The run is complete with all newspapers present between the dates listed above. Sunday issues were never bound into the volume.

Great content in this Sept, 1934 bound volume of newspapers including:

The fire and disaster to the MORRO CASTLE steamship off the coast of New Jersey.

Rise of Louisiana politician HUEY LONG to absolute power in Louisiana.

The capture of BRUNO HAUPTMANN, the man who kidnapped and killed the Lindbergh baby in 1932.

Coverage of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.

The SS Morro Castle was a luxury cruise ship of the 1930s that was built for the Ward Line for runs between New York City and Havana, Cuba. The Morro Castle was named for the Morro Castle fortress that guards the entrance to Havana Bay.

In the early morning hours of Saturday, 8 September 1934, en route from Havana to New York, the ship caught fire and burned, killing a total of 137 passengers and crew members. The ship eventually beached herself near Asbury Park, New Jersey and remained there for several months until she was eventually towed away and sold for scrap.

The devastating fire aboard the SS Morro Castle was a catalyst for improved shipboard fire safety. Today, the use of fire retardant materials, automatic fire doors, ship-wide fire alarms, and greater attention to fire drills and procedures resulted directly from the Morro Castle disaster.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann (November 26, 1899 – April 3, 1936) was a German carpenter sentenced to death and executed for the abduction and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old son of famous pilots Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The Lindbergh kidnapping gained international infamy, and has become known as "The Crime of the Century."
