Content: Printed on border: "The defendant, Westervelt, testifying in his own behalf ; Mr. C. K. Ross, father of the missing child ; Mrs. Westervelt and her children greeting William Westervelt in the court-room ; Walter Ross, Charlie's brother ; Judge Elcock." "A new scene in the remarkable drama is now being enacted in Philadelphia, where William Westervelt is being tried in the court of Quarter Sessions on a charge of complicity in the abduction. The Bill of Indictment against him charges that he and his wife Mary 'did aid and assist in secreting Charles Brewster Ross, the son of Christian K. and Mary Ann Ross, and conspired with William Mosher and Joseph Douglass, alias Joseph Clark, to decoy, entice, lead and carry away said child.' " Written on border: "Oct. 2, 1875" Includes additional text.
