The case of murderer Patrick Maude (attempted use of insanity plea)...
Item # 707506
January 23, 1860
THE NEW YORK TIMES, Jan. 23, 1860 Page 3 has over two columns dedicated to: "THE CASE OF PATRICK MAUDE", with subheading: "History of Patrick Maude, Recently Executed at Newark for Murder", which tells of his life, his decision to represent himself in court, his attempt to be found not guilty by reason of insanity, his conviction, and his execution. Quite interesting. The National Institute of health later did a review of his case.
The front page has news from the Sandwich Islands and mention of many arriving in Washington, D.C. from throughout the country to hear Senator Stephen A. Douglas speak the following day before the Senate regarding state's rights.
Eight pages, slightly irregular at the spine from disbinding, occasional minor print-creases, in nice condition.
