Bachert, Libel & The NY Herald

[Howard Brown]

Another good find, JD.

Apparently he was a household name by 1892.

Claims of Bachert being a drunkard and of bad character

Typical Albert Bachert style.

London Echo , April 9, 1892.

[Howard Brown]

I recall Chris Scott asking about this...the date of the New York Herald newspaper(s) in which Bachert claimed he was libeled.

If this article is accurate, then those issues of the Herald appeared on January 11th and 12th, 1890.

Freeman's Journal
January 14 ( Tuesday ), 1890
