Salem, [MA]: T. C. Cushing, 1817. Original Wrappers. Good binding. Octavo. 32 pp. Stitched into self-wrappers. Outer leaves are moderately soiled/stained; interior is fairly bright and clean. A reasonably nice copy. Daniel Webster was one of the defense attorneys in this bizarre case: He had only recently resumed private practice following service in the U.S. Congress. The case involved the "respected" and definitely "connected" Goodridge who accused teh mentally challenged Kenniston brothers of robbery. The cards seemed stacked against the two until Webster rose and began his defense, and stitch by stitch caused Goodridge's story to come apart and succeeded in obtaining the acquittal of the Kennistons. This editions follows a Boston issue of the same year. Shaw & Shoemaker 41955.
