The Montreal Link

It might be worth a look if you're interested in the topic:

I found a better copy of the same pamphlet (based on images of the actual pamphlet not microfilm images, also with a couple of title pages - introduction missing from the microfilm version):

Hopefully, this is easier to read.

**********************************************

This article image comes from the 07 July 1865 issue of the New York Evening Express and originally comes from the New York Daily News, which was run by Benjamin Wood. The Express doesn't date the original Daily News article but the partial reprinting of the article on page 28 of the Montreal Confederate's pamphlet would seem to also date the Daily News article to 07 July 1865. (Assuming "From the New York Daily News, Friday, July 7, 1864." is only misprinted in the year. I checked and 07 July 1865 was a Friday and obviously the Daily News article couldn't have been printed in 1864, before the assassination.)
