Item # 694567
August 01, 1889
THE DAILY JOURNAL, Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, Aug. 1, 1889 The front page has over half a column headed: "TWO MEN EXECUTED" "Charles Dinger and Harry Smart Hanged at Louisville" "A Ghastly Gallows Scene" "The Nouse
Slipped and Caught Dilger by the Teeth and the Trap Had to Be Sprung a Second Time--The Crimes". The report has much detail on the hanging--flawed for Dilger--as well as their crimes.
Four pages, toned throughout, archivally rejoined at the spine, minor margin tears, but it must be handled carefully due to fragility.
