New York 1882 Excursion on Steamships as Assassination Hunt

In a vivid 1882 New York scene a junketing party of marshals and detectives chased rumors of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke’s assassination aboard incoming ships. A Scythia boarding yielded three examinations, while a passenger from Wisconsin vanished ashore.
