April 14 Roundup

April 14, 1912--The HMS Titanic slammed into an iceberg and sank to the Atlantic Ocean's bottom.

April 14, 1865--Abraham Lincoln is shot by John Wilkes Booth and dies April 15.

April 14, 1965-- In Cold Blood killers Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, convicted of murdering four members of the Herbert Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, are executed by hanging at the Kansas State Penitentiary For Men in Lansing, Kansas.

Tomorrow, I'll begin posting Titanic reports from the Coshcoton Daily Age. One thing you'll notice...news moved much slower for our forefathers.
