Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chicago Alton Case: A Misunderstood Transaction No episode, perhaps, in the career of the late E. H. Harriman has been more severely criticised by the Interstate Commerce Commission, by certain members of Congress, and by an ill-informed part of the public than the re-organization of the Chicago & Alton Railroad in 1899 and 1900. It excited little comment at the time, but when, long afterward, the Government began its campaign against Mr. Harriman, through the Interstate Commerce Commission, the transaction was characterized as "indefensible financing," and was described as the "crippling," "looting," and "scuttling" of a well-managed and prosperous railroad by a syndicate of unscrupulous financiers in which Mr. Harriman was the "main conspirator."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A shocking tale of wrongful conviction . . . that brings general conditions into cruelly sharp focus.” —Kirkus Reviews Justice Failed is the story of Alton Logan, an African American man who served twenty–six years in prison for a murder he did not commit. In 1983, Logan was falsely convicted of fatally shooting an off–duty Cook County corrections officer, Lloyd M. Wickliffe, at a Chicago–area McDonald’s, and sentenced to life in prison. While serving time for unrelated charges, Andrew Wilson—the true murderer—admitted his guilt to his own lawyers, Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz. However, bound by the legal code of ethics known as the absolutism of client–attorney privilege, Coventry and Kunz could not take action. Instead, they signed an affidavit proclaiming Logan’s innocence and locked the document in a hidden strong box. It wasn’t until after Wilson’s death in 2007 that his lawyers were able to come forward with the evidence that would eventually set Alton Logan free after twenty–six years in prison. Written in collaboration with veteran journalist Berl Falbaum, Justice Failed explores the sharp divide that exists between commonsense morality—an innocent man should be free—and the rigid ethics of the law that superseded that morality. Throughout the book, in–depth interviews and legal analyses give way to Alton Logan himself as he tells his own story, from his childhood in Chicago to the devastating impact that the loss of a quarter century has had on his life—he entered prison at twenty–eight years of age, and was released at fifty–five.
