Note 234 — Chapter III · A CONTEMPORARY STATE TRIAL—THE UNITED STATES VS. JACOB ABRAMS ET AL.
Reading edition
The judge’s words are taken verbatim from the New York Times, October 22, 1918, which was so far from being prejudiced against him that on October 28 it said editorially, “Judge Henry D. Clayton deserves the thanks of the city and of the country for the way in which he conducted the trial,” and praised his “half-humorous” methods.
