This is an uncommon single sheet "extra" edition created for the expressed purpose of reporting: "Sentence of JOHN C. COLT, Convicted On The Murder of SAMUEL ADAMS on the 19th September, 1841".
This murder case was quite a sensation at the time, the details easily found on the internet.
Complete as a single sheet issue, very nice condition.
