Group of 4 original and complete issues of the American and Commercial Advertiser (Baltimore), from June 28 & 29; July 8 & 10, 1865 with front page reports from the TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORS in the assassination of President LINCOLN; and conclusion of trial. Good lengthy coverage of the trial. July 8 carries report of THE EXECUTION/Four of the conspirators hanged/The final scene. Takes up considerable space on front (2-1/2 columns). July 10 has extensive coverage of THE CONSPIRATORS with emphasis on the CONFESSION OF ATZERODT/How it (the plot) was to be done/His portion of the work/A history of Atzerodt. Issues have been removed from volume but are in good shape.
