Hitler seized upon the building's fire as evidence of communist scheming and the following day a state of emergency was declared and orders were given for all KPD The Communist Party of Germany members of the Reichstag to be arrested. The Reichstag Fire Decree imposed restrictions on the press banned political meetings and marches and intercepted communications. The legal concept of habeas corpus was suspended allowing the regime to detain suspected terrorists or revolutionaries without charge. This emergency decree was followed in March by the Enabling Act giving the Nazis dictatorial control for a five-year period. While the Reichstag fire was undoubtedly arson who was responsible remains one of history's great mysteries. Arrested at the rear of the building was Marinus van der Lubbe a 23-year-old Dutch communist who claimed sole and full responsibility denying the existence of co-conspirators. Also arrested were Ernst Torgler the chairman of the KPD three Bulgarians Georgi Dimitrov Blagoi Popov and Vassili Tanev. At their trial December 23 1933 Judge Wilhelm Bürger found Marinus van der Lubbe was guilty of "arson and with attempting to overthrow the government". The Judge further concluded that the German Communist Party had indeed planned the fire in order to start a revolution but the evidence against the other defendants was insufficient to justify a conviction. Marinus van der Lubbe was executed January 10 1934. Nearly 75 years after the event the German government granted him a posthumous pardon. hardcover

1949ref. 027267Washington D.C.: U.S. Government 1949. 25 pages; inscribed by the author "Frida My best Joe" on the cover and with a hand-written note on The Dodge Hotel Washington D.C. letterhead paper referring to details of this landmark WWII case: ".Dear Frida: General Clay affirmed the confiscation about ten days ago but with some awfully strained wording last Sunday's Times. I am fighting it out by cable. Hope to be in next week. Cordially Joe." Joseph William Kaufman 1899 - 1981 lawyer and judge; ".made his most distinctive mark as a prosecutor in the Nuremberg war crime trials. He functioned as a deputy chief counsel overall and as chief prosecutor at the trial of Alfried Krupp and eleven other executives of the Krupp armaments industries. The Krupp trial held in the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg lasted eleven months and resulted in the conviction of the defendants for the crimes of plunder and using slave labor. They were found not guilty of the charge of waging aggressive war. Kaufman was praised by contemporaries for his handling of the difficult and detailed case." Barry Ryan in the ANB The text of this "memorandum" defends the confiscation of the Krupp holdings refuting the arguments used by the defense against the decree point by point. ".For nearly 11 months the Krupp case unfolded in a sprawling dirty gray sandstone courthouse known as the Palace of Justice where the other major war crimes trials had been held. More than 200 witnesses were called and 4200 exhibits offered and the transcript of the proceedings ran to 13454 pages. Mr. Kaufman's presentation of the evidence was later praised by colleagues as detailed thorough and overwhelming. He told of atrocities and offenses that included murder torture enslavement imprisonment deportation and other abuses against Jews and other civilians as part of a conspiracy with Hitler to dominate the world." 1981 Robert D.

1815ref. AQ19449London: Printed by W. Glindon 1815. 16pp. Unbound with remains of original stitching. Edges first and final leaves dust-soiled uncut small tear to outer blank margin of two leaves and gutter of last little spotting. A speech delivered to the jury at a trial for adultery in Dublin by the lawyer Mr Phillips - an 'exquisite display of eloquence'. It comments on the fact that led Mr Guthrie the plaintiff he was representing and Mr Sterne to face one another in court as the latter had a relationship with Mrs Guthrie and convinced her to escape with him. The repenting Mrs Guthrie 'a poor wretch' returned home after Mr Sterne began to beat her. It was a very successful speech - 'a burst of applause from the whole Bar and auditory followed the delivery of the passage'. An interesting ephemeral survival shedding light on Irish marital law.

1824ref. BB056Murder Trial Account of the Murder of the late Mr William Weare . the coroner's inquest the trials of the prisoners and the execution. By George Henry Jones. London 1824. With 3 landscapes 2 folding plates finely lithographed by C J Hullmandel. 8vo iv344pp; half-leather marbled boards spine label "Thurtell's Trial" lightly scuffed very solid and clean throughout. First edition. William Weare was a solicitor of Lyon's Inn and a gambler. His killer was John Thurtell 1794–1824 a sports promoter amateur boxer a former Royal Marine officer and a son of the Mayor of Norwich. Thurtell owed Weare a gambling debt of £300 an immense sum at the time equivalent to £24500 in 20151. Thurtell believed Weare had cheated him of the money. Whatever the truth when Weare demanded payment Thurtell murdered him rather than pay up. He invited Weare to join him and his friends – Joseph Hunt a tavern landlord and William Probert a former convict and alcohol merchant – for a weekend of gambling at Probert's cottage at the site of Oaks Close off Gills Hill Lane subsequently popularly known as Murder Lane23 Radlett. On 24 October 1823 they journeyed from London in Thurtell's horse-drawn gig but Weare was killed in a dark lane just short of their destination. The gruesome and callous events created such public sensation that it attracted numerous ballads and theatre shows at the time along with comment by the essayist Babington Macaulay and the crime used variously in the work of Sir Walter Scott William Hazllitt and Robert Louis Stevenson. After the trial one of the accused was hanged and another Joseph Hunt was transported to Botany Bay Australia. Charles Joseph Hullmandel 1789–1850 studied art and printmaking and is considered amongst the most important figures in the development of British lithography. He developed a method for reproducing gradations in tones and for creating the effect of soft color washes which enabled the reproduction of Romantic landscape paintings of the type made popular by J. M. W. Turner. Hullmandel's essay The Art of Drawing on Stone 1824 was an important handbook of lithography issued the same year as this account of the trial.
