1902Best.-Nr. 291158Richmond Virginia: Clyde W. Saunders Printer 1902. Hard Cover. Good binding. An uncommon account of the impeachment trial against Clarence J. Campbell judge of the county court of Amherst in 1902 by the Virginia General Assembly. The story begins when Campbell dismissed the case of a druggist having sold twenty-five barrels of whiskey in a year despite local Temperance laws. A Richmond minister then wrote an article calling Judge Campbell practically corrupt and certainly pro-liqueur trafficking to which the Judge responded by bringing him to court. Despite failing to land a contempt of court charge The Honorable Clarence Campbell found his revenge by striking the minister with a riding crop multiple times after the court adjourned though circumstances leading to this altercation are inconclusive. A stacked court then acquitted Judge Campbell of felonious assault strangely enough with the defense that a Virginian had a right to beat any Yankee that insulted them. This resulted in mass rioting in the streets by pro- and anti-Campbell factions all while the judge and his circle hosted a raucous into-the-wee-hours party which of course respected the Temperance laws and presumably contained only prescribed whiskey. In this account Judge Campbell becomes one of the few circuit court judges to be successfully impeached after outrage and a petition calling for his dismissal. Cheers to that! Binding is fragile and somewhat shaken; front hinge cracked. Quarter black cloth over contemporary paper boards with a paper spine label. OCLC notes two institutional holdings. Good binding. Clyde W.
