Cox, Walter. Killing considered, and a Review of Pirates, Bibles, Jews, Christians, Liberty, Daggers, Dollars, Politics, and Manners, as they severally appear in the United States, and as they are connected with the Murder of Counsellor James Stoughton. New-York, 1820. 16 p.

Notes

This highly speculative account imagines that the real culprits behind the murder of Stoughton, the "law agent to the king of Spain," include Jewish mercantile interests in Baltimore anxious to provoke a war against Spain ("... for the first time for eighteen centuries, a Jewish armament is allowed and licensed to wreck Jewish vengeance on the cross," p. 14).
