THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL, Indiana, July 1, 1882
* Charles J. Guiteau hanging
* James A. Garfield assassin
The front page has one of the better graphics we have seen on the hanging of Charles Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield.
Among the six prints are one of him, another of him with the noose around his neck, Guiteau's sister, a scene of Guiteau on the scaffold, one of the "Death Watch--the Night before the Execution" and also: "Guiteau's Last Night on Earth".
There is also a: "Diagram of the Washington Jail" where he was held.
Great first column headlines as well (see the photos).
Eight pages, archivally rejoined at the spine with some loss at the spine as well, otherwise good condition.
