A Confession of David Thompson, who concealed and contrived the money of Wm. Baxter, to Harrison Riley, who was murdered by a Negro man named Essex. Broadside, 11 x 8 inches, one small hole with loss to one word; backed with archival paper. Dalonega County, Georgia, 1838 Confession of an accesory to this theft and murder case, probably printed on the occasion of the execution of the principal figure.
