The murderers had three good hours for escape; they had evaded the pursuit of lightning by snapping the telegraph wires, and rumor filled the town with so many reports that the first valuable hours, which should have been used to follow hard after them, were consumed in feverish efforts to know the real extent of the assassination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
