Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed account of the murder trial of Matt. F. Ward, who was charged with killing William H. G. Butler in November 1853. The trial drew widespread attention due to the high-profile nature of both the victim and the accused. Butler was a prominent educator and the principal of a prestigious school in Louisville, Kentucky, while Ward was a wealthy businessman and politician. The trial featured an intense examination of the events leading up to the shooting, including testimony from eyewitnesses, forensic experts, and character witnesses. The book delves into the complex legal strategies employed by both the prosecution and the defense, as well as the social and political context of the trial. It offers a unique window into the American justice system of the mid-19th century and the ways in which it grappled with issues of class, race, and violence.
