Rare. $2,750. * When Thomas Cooper, an unemployed bricklayer turned highwayman, was confronted by a group of policemen and concerned citizens, he shot two men and killed another, constable Timothy Daly. After being taken to the police station, Cooper took poison which he had apparently managed to smuggle in. He survived (though whether he would do so was unclear at the time this broadside was issued) and was tried, convicted and executed for murder. This broadside appears to be unrecorded.
