About This Item
Washington: Government Printing Office, 1874. Original printed wrappers, 214pp. Wraps chipped at the extremities. Very Good.
Riddle represented the United States in a complicated, bizarre case involving the theft of documents from a vault in the office of the Washington, D.C. District Attorney. Those indicted included the Chief, Assistant Chief, and a clerk of the U.S. Secret Service; an assistant U.S. attorney; and a prominent Washington criminal lawyer. The purpose of the theft was to obtain documents for use in an investigation.
The case received great attention for "the revelations of the inside history of the District government, for its novelty, and from the curious tissue of circumstantial evidence developed at the trial..." 9 American Law Review 351 [1875].
FIRST EDITION. II Harv. Law Cat. 468.
