NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Feb. 25, 1865  

* Prelude to Abraham Lincoln's assassination ?
* Captain John Yates Beall execution - hanging
* Actor and assassin John Wilkes Booth's friend

Among the front page one column heads on the Civil War are: "The Fall of Wilmington" "Official Dispatches to the Navy Dept." "A Large Number of Prisoners Captured" "The Rebels Evacuate the City Tues. Night" "They Are Being Rapidly Pursued" "Late Rebel News" and more.
But perhaps the most intriguing article, which takes almost an entire column, is the report headed: "The Execution of Capt. Beall The Rebel Spy" and "Preparation for the Execution--Scenes at the Scaffold--The Death of Beall". See the web on John Beall which provides much information on his life and work during the Civil War.
To be brief, despite appeals from 91 Congressmen Lincoln would not overturn the sentence of execution. Wikipedia reports that there is a legend that Beall was a friend of John Wilkes Booth, and Booth petitioned Lincoln to have Beall's death sentence overturned. It is believed that Lincoln's inaction to save Beall's life was motivation, at least in part, for Booth to kill Lincoln.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, nice condition.

Background: Captain John Yates Beall, a Confederate operative during the American Civil War, played a notable role in maritime raids and sabotage aimed at disrupting Union operations, particularly along the Chesapeake Bay. While he focused on attacks against Union shipping and supply lines, his activities were part of the broader Confederate strategy to undermine the Union war effort and target its leadership. President Abraham Lincoln, as the Union’s commander-in-chief, became a primary target of such Confederate plots, culminating in John Wilkes Booth’s infamous assassination of Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Booth, an actor and ardent Confederate sympathizer, was part of a network of conspirators who sought to eliminate Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William Seward to destabilize the Union government. Although Beall was captured and executed in February 1865, before Booth’s plot came to fruition, both men were connected by their allegiance to the Confederate cause and their indirect roles in efforts to attack Lincoln and the Union leadership.
