About This Item
Syracuse, NY: Syracuse Univ Press, 1991. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Printing. "In February 1859, in broad daylight, in front of 12 witnesses in Lafayette Square, across from the White House, Congressman Daniel Sickles - one of the capitol's most promising politicians - shot Philip Barton Key - US District Attorney for the District of Columbia and son of Francis Scott Key - in a jealous rage over the illicit affair Key had been carrying on with Sickles's beautiful young wife Teresa. With public opinion solidly behind him, Sickles was subsequently acquitted in his highly publicized murder trial, which featured scandalous sexual revelations, and the first successful use of the temporary insanity plea in American legal history". 8vo, 261 pp.
