Miss Harris not guilty: first use of 'temporary insanity'...

NEW-YORK TIMES, July 20, 1865  The front page has: "MISS HARRIS ACQUITED" "Extraordinary Close of a Remarkable Trial" "A Court of Justice Rivaling a Political Causus" "Browbeating and Bullying the Public Prosecutor" "The Jury Make a Show of Deference and Retire" "They Return in Five Minutes and Pronounce a Verdict of Not Guilty" & more, consuming almost the entire front page.
Mary Harris was acused of murdering Adoniram Burroughs. Her trial marked the first time in a U.S. court-room that expert medical testimony supported a plea of temporary insanity in a murder.
Other reports include: "SOUTH CAROLINA" "How & Why the Rebellion Failed" "Freedom a Curse to the Negroes" and more.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
