Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alton Trials: Of Winthrop S. Gilman, Who Was Indicted With Enoch Long, Amos B. Roff, George H. Walworth, George H. Whitney, William Harned, John S. Noble, James Morss, Jr., Henry Tanner, Royal Weller, Reuben Gerry, and Thaddeus B. Hurlbut; For the Crime of Riot, Commit There has rarely been an occurrence that has produced so deep and intense interest, throughout our whole country, as the disgraceful and murderous affair at Alton, Illinois, on the night of the 7th November last. But the indictment of the defenders, and the trial of an owner of the warehouse, for the crime of riot, in attempting to protect his property from mob violence, together with the singular verdict of the Jury, in the case of those of the mob that were tried, has, if possible, increased the feeling, and created a great desire in the public mind, to know the facts in the case. The publication of these trials has been loudly called for through several public journals. To gratify the public, and at the same time correct the contradictory reports that have been circulated, by giving the facts without comment, as they were drawn out in evidence, is deemed sufficient apology for spreading the "Alton Trials" before the public.
