1865 Issue of The Oregon Statesman
Cairying Story of Lincoln's Death
To Be Displayed
Carefully framed between double panes of glass, the
April 17, 1865, issue of .The
story of the assassination of
be on exhibition at the Lincoln banquet to be sponsored at
the Marion hotel at 6:30 o'clock Monday night by the Marion
county republican central committee.
Unlike modern day news treat-
ment, the Lincoln story was print
ed on an inside page, the page
rules set in heavy black as an ex
pression of mourning. Faltering
telegraphic service of the day, an
editorial comment Indicated, had
made the editor scarcely able to
believe for 24 hours that the re
port of the president's being shot,
in Ford's theatre, by J. Wilkes
Booth, the night of April 14 could
be true. But repetitions and veri
fications of the first report final
ly proved Its truth to the editor's
satisfaction.
Riots Follow Death Word
The old paper also records that
riots occurred in San Francisco
following receipt of the assassina
tion news. Details of investiga
tions conducted by police and ar
my officers in search of the presi
dent's assassin and - of the man
who attacked and stabbed Secre
tary of State Seward the same
night.
The Statesman of that day was
official publisher of United States
laws and resolutions as well as of
state matters. It contained legal
notices from all parts of the state
and news letters and reprints of
other papers' reports from the
United States, Canada and Europe.
Old Legal Item Seen
Among the legal items is a pub
lication of city of Salem ordinance
No. 41, which imposed a 10-mill
tax levy for city purposes.
The front page of the issue
carried detailed accounts ot the
recently-concluded Civil war and
notes exchanged by Generals U. S.
Grant and R. E. Lee in arrang
ing for the southern army's sur
render.
