Rare print of the court room of the trial of the conspirators...
Item # 701569
May 18, 1865
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, May 18, 1865 A displayable issue as the front page features a quite unusual illustration headed: "TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORS. Interior View of the Court Room Occupied by the Military Commission."
There are nice first column heads including: "THE GREAT TRIAL" "The Pursuit Of The Assassins!" "Dr. Mudd's Participation in the Great Plot!" "His Efforts Top Hide The Felons!" "He Endeavors to Put Pursuers Off Their Track!" "Harold Boasts, 'We Are the Assassinators!" "Booth Opposes Open Confession!" "The Capture of Harold and Death of Booth" and much more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, minor wear at the margins, good condition.
