Rogers, L.W 1944-01-12
| Description: |
Letter from Theodore Debs, 1/12/1944. Writes that he appreciated the copy of CLARENCE DARROW FOR THE DEFENSE that Rogers sent. Says that when the book about Clarence Darrow first came out that he went to the public library to get it but all of the copies were then out. Remarks that he has already had over a hundred pages read to him. Assures Rogers that the part about the Pullman Strike is thrilling. Tells Rogers that while all of the facts were not necessarily in chronological order that the author put the guilt where it properly belonged, that is, on Grover Cleveland and Richard Olney. Writes that he remembers that the breaking down of the prosecutions case came when Clarence Darrow examined the President of the General Managers Association. Says that Clarence Darrow undercut the prosecutions case by showing that while the American Railway Union kept all of its proceedings public that the General Managers Association kept theirs private. Asks that Rogers nurse his strength. |
