Original April 4, 1882, edition of the New York Sun, 17.5 x 22, four pages, with headline over the first column reading “Jesse James Assassinated,” with a secondary headline reading “Shot Dead in his own House by a Member of his Gang.” Byline underneath reads “The Assassin claiming that he is a Detective and that he has been for a Long Time on the Outlaw’s Track—The Body Identified.” In very good condition, with uniform toning, binding holes to left edge, and chips and paper loss to the fragile edges.
