About This Book

A prominent writer publishes a public open letter to the nation's president accusing military and judicial authorities of a miscarriage of justice in a high-profile espionage case, and the rest of the volume presents a day-by-day transcript of the subsequent fifteen-day assize court proceedings, including witness testimony, cross-examinations, and counsel speeches. The record chronicles investigative errors, contested evidence, procedural secrecy, and public controversy, interweaving the author's arguments with courtroom rhetoric and factual statements offered by witnesses. The work functions as both polemic and verbatim legal reporting, documenting the clash between public opinion and institutional authority.

☞ The advantages of the method of typography employed in the composition of this volume, in which the “justification” of lines is dispensed with, are undeniable. From the standpoint of æsthetics it is an improvement, because by it absolutely perfect spacing is secured. From the standpoint of economy it is almost a revolution, since it saves, in the case of book work, from twenty to forty per cent. of the cost of type-setting, according to the grade of the work. If adopted in all printing-offices, it would effect a daily saving of the labor of about two hundred thousand men.
