* re. Abraham Lincoln assassination
* Pursuit of Jefferson Davis as conspirator
The ftpg. features a map headed: "The Scene of the Recent Pursuit" referring to the pursuit of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Nice first column related headlines: "THE CONSPIRACY" "Important Proclamation by the President" which is signed in type: Andrew Johnson & includes in part: "It appears from evidence...that the atrocious murder of the late President Abraham Lincoln...was incited, concerted, and procured by & between Jefferson Davis...& other rebels & traitors against the government of the United States...". Other column heads: "Jeff. Davis Alleged to have Been Implicated in the Assassination of President Lincoln" "$100,000 For His Capture" "Whereabouts of Jeff. Davis" and more (see).
Page 5 has reports on "The Funeral" and: "Arrival of the President's Remains in Springfield". An interesting editorial concerning Johnson's Proclamation given this was a strong Democratic newspaper & often opposed much of what Lincoln represented.
Eight pages, great condition.
