THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, May 15, 1865.
* Confederate President
* Jefferson Davis captured
* Caught in Women's clothes
* Civil War era
Half of the first column on pg. 1 is taken up with some significant heads including:
* CAPTURE OF JEFF DAVIS !
* As Good As A Comedy!
* His Flight Suddenly Ended!
* Col. Prichard Overhauls The Fugitive!
* He Attempts to Escape in His Wife's Clothes!
* He Bolts For The Woods!
* His Boots Betray Him While He Is Running!
and more (see).
Other front page headlines including: "The Assassins!" "Their Trial at Washington" "A Description of the Conspirators" and more (see) with the entire bkpg. taken up with verbatim testimony of their trial.
Eight pgs., never bound nor trimmed, browning & wear along ftpg. folds causes some small paper loss, otherwise rather nice.
