Light soiling to wrappers some chipping to extremities with loss to lower right front corner small tear to back wrapper near spine. Light toning to interior occasional light foxing some small folds to corners. $650. Only edition. Smith a married Presbyterian elder was put on trial in December 1873 for repeatedly raping and ultimately impregnating Edith Wilson an eleven-year-old girl. Although the account is highly sympathetic to the victim the assault described as "criminal intercourse" was apparently less at issue than the bastardy. Edith swore an affidavit in November 1873 that she was pregnant by Charles Smith "without means of support" and "likely to become a charge upon the town." Still pregnant she testified against Smith in open court a remarkable act of bravery and self-possession. The scandal rocked the small upstate New York town. Despite gossip that Edith's father had been involved and a certain degree of scapegoating by other witnesses Smith was convicted of criminal bastardy on the strength of her testimony. Nothing is known about the aftermath of this remarkable trial. OCLC locates 8 copies 3 in law libraries Harvard Social Law University of Missouri. unknown

As McDade remarks "The murder of a harlot seems to lend a special interest to a case which is measurable by the many publications which ensue." He considers the Tirrell case "one of the triumphs of Rufus Choate who convinced the jury that his client did not cut the throat of Mrs. Bickford or if he did he did it in his sleep. The defense of somnambulism by Choate might well join that other classic of defense put forth by Delphin Michael Delmas who as counsel for Harry K. Thaw pleaded 'dementia Americana.'" Choate a Massachusetts lawyer orator and politician is considered one of 19th-century America's greatest lawyers for his powers of persuasion and innovation in the courtroom. The Tirrell case was one of several landmarks he achieved in private practice: it was the first successful somnambulism defense in an American murder trial.
