Abraham Prescott 18 years old at the time had lived and worked with the Cochran family for several years. In January 1833 he had attacked both Chauncey and Sally Cochran in their sleep with an axe an incident the couple dismissed as an "unhappy occurrence of somnambulism" and did not press charges. Months later in June 1833 Prescott bludgeoned Sally Cochran to death with a wooden stake while they were picking strawberries. Prescott's defense attorneys argued that he committed the murder while sleepwalking and was not mentally responsible for his actions. Extensive testimony from medical experts and family members was presented to support claims of his troubled past history of sleep disturbances and hereditary insanity. Despite a vigorous defense the jury was unconvinced by the sleepwalking plea a novel legal strategy at the time. Prescott was found guilty in two separate trials and sentenced to death. The case garnered significant public attention and the controversy surrounding his mental state and eventual public execution led to the founding of New Hampshire's first mental institution. According to McDade "the defense was one of the best for that time on the subject of insanity" but the jury was unconvinced and Prescott was hanged. McDade notes that there is "much interesting information in this case on the superstitions and treatment of the weak-minded." An historical account offering insight into 19th-century law societal attitudes toward mental illness and the justice system of that era. McDade The Annals of Murder 770. unknown books

Observations Upon the Case of Abraham Thornton Who Was Tried.

1819rif. 758881819. Murder Rape and Trial by Battle Holroyd Edward 1794-1881. Thornton Abraham c.1793-1860. Observations Upon the Case of Abraham Thornton Who was Tried at Warwick August 8 1817 For the Murder of Mary Ashford: Shewing the Danger of Pressing Presumptive Evidence Too Far Together with the Only True and Authentic Account Yet Published of the Evidence Given at the Trial The Examination of the Prisoner &c. And a Correct Plan of the Locus in Quo. London: Printed for J. Mawman T. Miller 1819. 88 pp. Folding map. Portrait frontispiece misbound before preface. Octavo 7-3/4" x 4-3/4". Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet untrimmed edges. Moderate toning light soiling to exterior dampspotting to map small library stamps to title page and frontispiece. $500. Third and final edition one of three printed in 1819. Abraham Thornton a bricklayer "was accused of rape and murder after attending a dance where he became intimate with a gardener's daughter named Mary Ashford. They left the dance together and her body was found the next morning in a deep pool of water near a local footpath. Thornton was tried at the Warwick assizes on 8 August 1817. Since the marks on Mary's body were not necessarily inconsistent with Thornton's claim that she had consented to sexual intercourse and since the times on the morning in question when Thornton was seen walking home to Bromwich suggested he could not have been with her when she met her death the jury found him not guilty. The case aroused much interest and reminded people of a similar murder of a local woman a year earlier. Many were convinced of Thornton's guilt and he was assailed in local and London newspapers. A group collected around the Birmingham solicitor William Bedford invoked the old legal process of 'appeal of murder' by which a person acquitted of murder could be tried again for the same offense. This process was generally regarded as obsolete though there had been several instances in the eighteenth century. More controversy arose when Thornton came before the court of King's Bench in November 1817 and demanded ordeal by battle which was open to the subject of an appeal of murder but had not been claimed since Charles I's reign. After several hearings between November 1817 and April 1818 the court decided that the appellee did have this right. The appe. unknown books

Abraham LincolnABAA

Civil War and Emancipation History Republican Herald and Post Printing of Lincoln's Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation September 27 1862

1862rif. 129821862. Lincoln Abraham. Front-page printing of the September 22 1862 Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in the Republican Herald and Post of Providence Rhode Island dated September 27 1862 carrying Lincoln's emancipation policy to newspaper readers only five days after its issuance. The proclamation announced that enslaved people in states remaining in rebellion on January 1 1863 would thereafter be free making its rapid newspaper circulation central to public understanding of a major change in Union war policy. Its appearance in this Providence issue documents the immediate dissemination of Lincoln's order during the Civil War. Republican Herald and Post. Providence Rhode Island. Saturday morning September 27 1862. Four pages printed recto and verso. The front page prints Lincoln's September 22 proclamation including the passage: "I Abraham Lincoln President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter as heretofore the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relations between the United States and the people thereof. Abraham Lincoln." The full proclamation joined the Union war effort to a stated deadline for emancipation in rebellious states while also addressing compensated emancipation colonization enforcement by military and naval personnel and the status of people escaping slavery under federal law. Lincoln issued the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation after the Battle of Antietam and months of debate within his administration over the timing and legal basis of emancipation. By printing the proclamation on September 27 the Republican Herald and Post records how quickly readers encountered the new policy through the daily and weekly press before the final Emancipation Proclamation took effect on January 1 1863. Minor chipping to the edges; otherwise excellent condition. A closely dated Civil War newspaper preserving contemporary public circulation of Lincoln's preliminary order for emancipation. unknown books

He was educated at the universities of Franeker and Leiden and became professor of Oriental languages at the former in 1681. When locating prophetic outcomes he would associate events to the near rather than the far-off future placing a distinct focus on the period of the Maccabees 2nd Century BC. Like Joseph Mede 1586-1638 Vitringa believed wholeheartedly that the Millennium was yet to come but did not expect any immediate changes. He relegated the end of the time to a remote future and strongly emphasized the concept of New Jerusalem From Wikipedia. Ex Officina Wibii Bleck hardcover books
