Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine.

Printed Wrapper. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. 1st ed. A fine copy of the Uncorrected Proof with one small crease and nick. A tale of murder, deceit, infidelity and greed unfolds set in 1870 New York. It's a time of great growth as well as widespread corruption in the city. In the first of a new series, Roberta Rogow introduces the law firm of Pettigrew and Roth, comprised of the esteemed Ephraim Pettigrew, his niece, Margaret ("Peggy") Pettigrew; and the junior member of the firm, Joshua Roth, whose best friend, Michael Riley, is an assistant district attorney and Uncle Ephraim's prize protege. The firm has been hired by one Henry Ward Long, whose family is definitely a member of the city's High Society, to defend his nephew, one Bertram "Broadway Bertie" Delacorte, against a charge of murder. Delacorte has been accused, on scant evidence, of murdering Mrs. Suzanna Kendall. Roth succeeds in having the charges dismissed and the case against him thrown out at arraignment when none other than Peggy herself provides the man with an ironclad alibi. The celebration of their victory is short-lived, however, when Delacorte's dead body is fished out of the Hudson River less than a day later. Mr. Long asks the firm, to find the killer. The unlikely trio of Peggy, Michael and Josh set out to find the killer of both Mrs. Kendall and Bertie Delacorte. Uncorrected Proof.…

John V. Drake and John C. Moses practiced law in Danville, Illinois. They worked on cases appearing before the Vermilion County Circuit Court. When Abraham Lincoln had a case appearing in that court, he would sometimes affiliate himself with Drake and Moses. Lincoln was before that court in October and November 1857.Hezekiah Ballah sued John Deck and Zachariah Deck in a case heard in the Vermilion County Circuit Court. This was an action of trespass for castrating seventeen buck sheep and cutting up eight other ewes, wethers, and lambs. The Decks retained Lincoln who worked together with Drake and Moses in the case in October 1857. The Decks pleaded not guilty. Moreover, John Deck also pleaded that he had been acquitted of the charge in Justice of the Peace court. The jury found the Decks not guilty. Hearing the case was Judge David Davis, who Lincoln would one day name to the U.S. Supreme Court.Autograph document signed, a draft pleading completely in Lincoln?s hand, Vermilion County Circuit Court, October 1857, being the pleading informing the Court that Deck had previously been acquitted of the same offense. The name of the case was John Deck, impleaded with Zachariah Deck, ads [vs] Hezekiah Ballah, and it was filed In Trespass. ?And the said defendant, John Deck, comes and defends the force and injury?and says plaintiff actio non [fails to act when there is a duty to act] because he [defendant] says he is not guilty, in manner and form, as is in the declaration alleged; and of this he puts himself upon the country, etc. [citizens in a court or jury]. Moses & Drake & Lincoln p.d.?Lincoln adds below: ?And for further plea in this behalf, defendant John Deck says plaintiff actio non because he says that heretofore to wit on the __ day of __, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty seven, at the county of Vermillion, in the state of Illinois, before Joseph Peters, a Justice of the Peace of said county, and before commencement of this suit, said defendant John Deck, in a suit against him by the plaintiff herein, was lawfully judged to be not guilty of the same identical supposed trespass in this declaration mentioned, and this he is ready to verify, therefore he prays judgment etc. Moses & Drake & Lincoln p.d.? The case is listed at lawofficeofabrahamlincoln.org.An interesting pleading, where Lincoln?s client has already been acquitted of the same offense.…
