Description
An account of the landmark suffragist trial before the U.S. Circuit Court for the Northern District of New York, that brought the cause of women's voting rights to the forefront of national attention. A group of women led by Susan B. Anthony attempted to vote during the presidential election of 1872, claiming they were entitled to the Fourteenth Amendment. The presiding officials, Jones, Hall and Marsh, decided by a majority to accept their ballots. The women were soon arrested for this act and indicted for knowingly voting without having a lawful right to vote. The officials were also indicated. This volume reprints the text of the indictment and a transcript of the testimony with connecting commentary.
