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 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.
