Illustrated Police News (Boston)

The Illustrated Police News (ca. 1860–1904) or the Police News was a weekly periodical published in Boston, Massachusetts.[1][2][3][4] In a popular, sensationalist syle it reported news of crime and legal proceedings with stories about, for instance, Billy the Kid[5][6] and Bat Masterson.[7] Editors or owners included John Stetson[8][9][10] and A. H. Millett.[11]
