[Lincoln, Abraham]:

$250 · Offered by William Reese Company

THE NEW YORK HERALD. The main news in this edition concerns the ongoing events in the assassination of President Lincoln. A long story from Springfield, Illinois, reports on the arrival of the funeral procession, and there are several stories about the pursuit of the conspirators in the President's murder. One story calls Jefferson Davis "a fugitive from justice, with a price set on his head as an assassin." Another long piece brings news from the South, as military action in the Civil War winds to a halt. The last page is taken up by an account of the Irish Independence movement, and a profile of "Fenians at Home and Abroad."
