Only edition. "Jim Fisk.was a financial wonder in New York in 1872. Edward Stokes had been associated with him in the oil business but they had become engaged in a bitter legal battle which originated when Stokes stole Fisk's mistress Josie Mansfield. In retaliation Fisk had charged Stokes with embezzling oil company funds; Stokes replied with a charge of false imprisonment. Then Mansfield threatened to publish letters from Fisk revealing some of his transactions. On January 5 an injunction was issued restraining the publication of the letters; on the next day Josie Mansfield was exposed to a humiliating cross-examination in police court on her relations with Fisk. Stokes in a rage followed Fisk to the Broadway Central Hotel where he shot him on the stairs. After two trials the state could only convict Stokes of third-degree manslaughter" McDade annotation to 917. OCLC locates 11 copies 2 in law libraries Library of Congress Yale.

Light toning to text somewhat heavier in a few places. $950. Although OCLC records an "Ann Walters 1812-1844" McDade believes her story is a work of fiction that incorporates details of a dozen different murders. He also doubts the veracity of the Runkle case. Walters ran a tavern on the Delaware-Maryland border where she liked to murder traveling slave traders and steal their slaves money and other valuables. Her murder of a slave-trader is depicted in one of the woodcuts. Her depravity is blamed in part on the morally corrosive effects of slavery: "Although born in a free country where slavery is abhorred Canada she soon imbibed a taste for the traffic in slaves as our readers may easily perceive that her location was in a slave state where morality is not very exalted as such a course could not have been carried on in a free state so long without meeting the eye of detection." Walters began her career by killing her child and husband she then became the leader of a criminal gang. OCLC locates 4 copies in law libraries. Harvard Social Law University of Missouri Yale.
