Item description from seller

First edition. 8vo. 47, [1]pp. Self wraps, stained, internally clean, spot of stain to lower margin of preliminary leaves (about 3 pages). Text in two columns. Good. A sensational divorce case where Frank Dalton accused his wife, Helen of adultery. There were allegations of a sexual relationship by Helen and her lover, William Sumner (cousin of Senator Charles Sumner) and accusations of negligence and adultery leveled against Dalton by his wife Helen. Frank Dalton was so enraged that he ended up beating William Sumner to death. After a protracted trial, he was found guilty of assault and battery, rather than manslaughter which was expected. [Divorce – United States].
