Book excerpt: Excerpt from Argument in the Railroad Conspiracy Case Entitled the People of Michigan Vs; Abel F. Fitch and Others: Tried Before His Honor, Warner Wing, Presiding Judge, of the Circuit Court for the Country of Wayne, at the May Term, 1851 in the City of Detroit All things teach the dread truth that "life is fleeting," and that we should move through its mazy paths of cares and pleasures, with hope and vision fixed on the eternity which lies beyond. In this case, gentlemen, we have each a solemn duty to perform - let us discharge it with a high sense of the responsibility which rests upon us. In the views which I am about submit to you, I will earnestly endeavor to treat this cause with the seriousness its importance demands, and with the candor and fairness due to you and to the Court. While I feel pleased in beholding the laurels which this trial has en twined around other brows, I will seek to gather none for my own, will neither wander into the paths of fancy, nor address myself to those who sit without the jury box. I will remember, however dull it may render me, that my duty confines me to this cause, I will speak only of it, and address myself only to you. I will pass over the case gentleman, as nearly as possible in the same order which has been pursued by the distinguished counsel who last addressed you for the defence. I shall not see or hope to leave the impress of oratorical power upon your imagination, but trust, ere I conclude, to convince your reason, that every point urged by the defence is fallacious, and without foundation in the facts and evidence before you. An objection of a technical character has been interposed by the counsel for the prisoners, which I propose briefly to allude to before his Honor, the Judge. The Court is aware, that at common law, an accessory could only be indicted and tried by one of two ways, viz: with the principal - the jury first passing on the principal's guilt: or secondly, after the conviction or outlawry of the principal - the record of his conviction affording prima facie evidence of his guilt. It being found that this rule of the common Jaw did not operate to the furtherance of justice, but rather to the shielding of guilt, the Act of 7 Geo. 4, C. 64, was passed to remedy the evil. This Act retained the two common law modes of trial of accessories before the fact, and provided a third, viz: as, and for a substantive felony; and this act is substantially and, indeed, almost literally re-enacted in and by our own Rev. Stat. 1846, P. 688, Chap. 161, Sec. 2, which is as follows: "Every person who shall counsel, hire, or otherwise procure any felony to be committed, may be indicted and convicted as an accessory before the fact, either with the principal felon, or after the conviction of the principal felon, or he may be indicted or convicted of a substantive felony, whether the principal felon shall or shall not be amenable to justice, and in the last mentioned case, may be punished in the same manner as if convicted of being accessory before the fact." The present indictment counts as follows, viz: 1st. Against alias principals in the arson of the Depot. 2nd. Against George W. Gay as principal in the arson. 3d. Against the other defendants as accessories before the fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Railroad Conspiracy is a straightforward account of harassment and prejudice based on my employment experiences with Penn Central and Conrail Railroad Division in Philadelphia, PA from November 7th, 1974 until March 19th, 1980. These experiences included unwarranted demotions, harassment, public humiliation, racism, and eventually what I consider was an attempt on my life. I believe my superiors and some of my coworkers set out to destroy my career in the railroad after I had received public praise in 11 newspapers and from the commuter public when I worked the public address system as a Train Caller at the Reading Railroad Station. This public address job required a clear voice to tell the train commuters when trains were leaving and arriving. I stood out among the Train Callers for my unique delivery and style for which I received much public recognition among the commuters and the media. Two sample articles in the local Philadelphia newspapers that reported my outstanding work are included in the book. Although the public praised me for my work as a Train Caller, I was not appreciated or praised by my superiors. Although this seems like a minor case of jealousy, my life was turned upside down as I had to seek legal proceedings to protect my job. In handling my case, the legal system acted more like a kangaroo court rather than an honest system that could cite injustices done to me. What follows is a case study of how and where a company failed an employee and how the outside resources proved to be of no value to an honest, hard-working employee. Since this case study can be studied from different angles, The Railroad Conspiracy will prove valuable for various disciplines such as journalism and criminal justice, dealing with social attitudes, management practices, and corporate ethical responsibility. In the end, companies have a moral obligation to consistently protect their employees from the unnecessary and illegal treatment by other employees. In case a reader is curious about my background, I can report that I never had a police record or jail time all these years. Also, I did go to church off and on during these years in this story. In other words, I had always been an honest, hard-working employee and had proved myself a good worker at the railroad company. When we decide to accept a new job, we look forward to working as long as possible. In addition, we begin a social contract with the employer. We presume respect and fair treatment in exchange for being an honest, hard-working, and helpful employee. Employers expect many good things from their employees: good attendance; punctuality; good team spirit to work with their coworkers; helpful and creative suggestions to improve the job performance, and implicitly, the company. These work habits can make for a productive and pleasant environment in which to work. Problems can arise when an employee finds a different set of attitudes and values with the immediate supervisors and coworkers than the perfect job picture described by someone in Human Resources who offered the job. There are probably hundreds of thousands of stories of employees who start a job with high hopes of being successful only to find themselves facing hostile coworkers, a toxic boss, illegal operations, unscrupulous work, racism, threats, job bullying, lack of promotion, sexual advances, and other negative treatment designed to make someone quit. Compounding this situation, the employee may not want to quit because there may be limited opportunities for other suitable jobs, or the employee may not have the financial resources to live while unemployed. Considering the number of problems that can unexpectedly arise from bosses, coworkers, and immoral conduct at work, an employee can be considered fortunate when he is working for a supportive and helpful company.

Book excerpt: "Martin Hershock traces the ways in which all classes in the state of Michigan found themselves simultaneously attracted to the enticements of the new world of the market and repulsed by its excess and instability. The Paradox of Progress is a study of Michigan history and politics as well as an analysis of the factors underlying the history of the GOP and its evolution from the party that supported the antislavery movement, free soil, free labor, and Lincoln the Rail-Splitter into the party of Mark Hanna, J.P. Morgan, and William McKinley."--BOOK JACKET. Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book The History of Michigan Law written by Paul Finkelman and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Michigan Law offers the first serious survey of Michigan's rich legal past. Michigan was among the first states to admit African-Americans and women to its law schools and was the first governmental entity to abolish the death penalty. Additionally, the state, unlike its midwestern neighbors, did not enact racial exclusion laws in the post-Civil War era. Michigan has also played a leading role in developing modern rape laws, in protecting the environment, and in assuring the right to counsel for those accused of crimes. The story of Michigan's legal development includes high profile cases such as the Dr. Ossian Sweet murder trial, the cross-district busing case Milliken v. Bradley, and the affirmative action cases brought against the University of Michigan Law School.The History of Michigan Law documents and analyzes, as well, Michigan legal develpments in environmental history, civil rights, and women's history. This book will serve as the entry point for all future studies that involve the law in Michigan. With 2005 marking the bicentennial of the establishment of the Michigan Supreme Court, as well as the bicentennial of the creation of the Michigan Territory, The History of Michigan Law has appeal beyond the legal community to scholars and students of American history. ABOUT THE EDITORS---Martin Hershock is an associate professor of history at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
