THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 18, 1865

* Trial of the Lincoln assassination conspirators
* Mary Surratt's involvement


Page 3 has a report headed: "Mrs. Surratt And The Conspiracy" "Interesting Statement by L. J. Weichmann" "Brophy's Affidavit Upset" with the report taking a full column. A portion of the report includes: "...Much has been said & much has been written about Mrs. Surratt's innocence. Sensation paragraphs are being scattered throughout the country...That a woman so kind, so compassionate, so generous & so religious should have been cognizant of plots of capture or assassinate the President of the United States is hardly to be believed..." with more (see).

Keep in mind this is from 11 days after she was hanged for her involvement in the assassination conspiracy.

Eight pages. Minor foxing however, in very nice condition.
