NEW YORK HERALD, July 19, 1859  Nearly half of the front page is taken up with a lengthy & detailed report: "The Sickles Case - The Last Phase of Public Opinion".
The Daniel Sickles trial was the first time that a defense of "temporary insanity" was used in American law, and it was one of the most controversial trials of the 19th century.
Page 4 has an article headed: "The Territorial Slavery Question and the Democratic Platform--What Shall be the Platform?" and: "Horace Greeley at Pike's Peak".
Eight pages, nice condition.
