[ translate ]

(CRIME.) Hall, Vincent. The Statements of Vincent Hall, Who Killed E.J. Hinton. Letterpress broadside, 15 1/2 x 11 inches; moderate wear at folds, moderate foxing, edge-mounted on verso to modern mat. Carrollton, IL, 28 September 1858

The subtitle reads 'Given in his own words two days before his execution, and printed by his request, for the benefit of his only child, a boy of about eight years of age.' The long rambling narrative spares no details, but in short: Hall encountered his former landlord Hinton while drinking. Hinton asked angrily about a door that went missing when Hall moved out, and then knocked Hall down with a plow beam. When Hall regained consciousness he chased Hinton down and shot him. One copy in OCLC, at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library; not in Byrd's Illinois Imprints and none traced at auction.
