Item # 708436
May 16, 1865
NEW YORK TIMES, May 16, 1865 Among the front page column heads are: "TRIAL OF THE ASSASSINS" "The Charges & Specifications Against the Prisoners" "Davis, Sanders, Tucker, Thompson, and Clay in the Indictment" "They are Charged with Conspiring to Kill Lincoln, Johnson, Seward and Grant" 'The Testimony Taken on the Second Day of the Trial".
This testimony on the trial of the assassins consumes over half of the front page and carries over to page 8 as well. The back page also has: "The Collapse In The West" "The Rebel Governor Brown, of Georgia, A Prisoner" "Jeff. David Expected in Nashville on Thursday Night" "A General Surrender of Rebel Soldiers & Guerrillas" and more.
Eight pages, minor binding slits at the blank spine, nice condition.
