Quite rare newspaper titled "The Hangman", published in Boston. Ma., which was a social movement newspaper against capital punishment. Graphic scene of a hanging forms the masthead of each issue. Each paper is 4pgs., and date January 15, 1845 and January 22, 1845, and was a weekly paper. The papers have edge roughness as seen, but complete. In mourning rules on page four, a second illustrated execution scene, followed by text of six men facing execution. Quite interesting reading.
