"Isaac Smith Kalloch accused of adultery in this prosecution was a Baptist clergyman and was supported by the trustees of his church throughout this affair. . The jury could not reach a verdict in the case which was tried in the Massachusetts Court of Common Pleas Criminal Session in Cambridge Massachusetts" Cohen. Kalloch was defended by the eminent lawyer and politician Richard Henry Dana Jr. 1815-1882. The Full Report includes the judge's charge but not the jury's final verdict. Kalloch moved to San Francisco where he continued to generate controversy by skirting the bounds of decency. When he decided to run for mayor of San Francisco in 1879 he came under attack from the San Francisco Chronicle's editor-in-chief Charles de Young who was backing another candidate. DeYoung hoping to end Kalloch's campaign accused the minister of having an affair. Kalloch responded by claiming that De Young's mother ran a brothel. In response DeYoung ambushed Kalloch on a street and shot him twice. Kalloch survived the wounds. Due in part to the sympathy of voters he was elected the 18th Mayor of San Francisco.

Housed in attractive custom crimson clamshell box quarter morocco over cloth with raised bands and gilt title to spine. $1250. First and only edition of the official report documenting the "Ferryboat Murder" a landmark case of femininity insanity and Victorian scandal. When Laura Fair discovered her lover Alexander Crittenden had no intention of leaving his wife she fatally shot him aboard a San Francisco ferry in front of his family. The ensuing trial became a national lightning rod for Victorian anxieties regarding the "sanctity of the family" and the legal rights of women. In a pioneering and controversial defense Fair's counsel argued she was a victim of "Moral Mania" a temporary insanity triggered by her menstrual cycle and "nervous prostration." While the suffragist movement championed her as a victim of a patriarchal legal system the public was captivated by the scandalous correspondence printed here in full. This historical drama is explored in depth in Gary Krist's Trespassers at the Golden Gate 2025 which contextualizes the trial within Gilded Age San Francisco. This remains a cornerstone text for the study of 19th-century gender politics and the 'insanity' defense. McDade The Annals of Murder 291.
