The investigation focused on Spiro Agnew's activities as Baltimore County Executive and as Governor of Maryland. It was found that Agnew had accepted bribes and kickbacks from contractors in exchange for public service contracts. In September of 1973 Agnew engaged the K Street law firm of Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison. Martin London became his lead attorney. London together with Jay H. Topkis and Max Gitter drafted a "Memorandum In Support of Motion" addressing the question as to whether it would be constitutional to indict or criminally try a sitting Vice President. The memorandum puts forth historical arguments as to why "the constitution bars a criminal proceeding against the Vice President of the United States". In the meantime following a precedent set in 1826 by Vice President John C. Calhoun Agnew asked the House of Representatives to initiate an impeachment investigation into bribery charges. The hope was that his name would be cleared by such an investigation. However Speaker Carl Albert after consulting the parliamentarian and other members denied Agnew's request on September 26 1973 stating that the request "relates to matters before the courts. In view of that fact I as Speaker will not take any action.at this time". On October 5 1973 Solicitor General Robert Bork responded negatively to Agnew's request to enjoin the grand jury proceedings investigating him. He provided the United States District Court for the District of Maryland with a brief stating that "considerations based upon the Constitution's text history and rationale which indicate that all civil officers of the United States other than the President are amenable to the federal criminal process either before or after the conclusion of impeachment proceedings." Spiro Agnew resigned from his office on October 10 1973 pleading no contest to a single charge of tax evasion.</p> Washington, DC, September 28, 1973. paperback

Wilson was a speculator who later invested in the rights to the Woodworth Planing Machine and who over 24 years earned more than 2 million dollars in royalties from his stake in the patent.</p><p>The cash cow which Woodworth's Planing Machine represented was threatened by George W. Beardslee's design of his Beardslee Patent Fixed-Knife Planing Machine in 1851. From Buffalo New York Beardslee immediately found himself named as one of four defendants in a lawsuit which the holders of Woodworth's patent brought to court even though his fixed-knife planer was totally different than Woodworth's cylindrical-head design. Indeed much of the pamphlet at hand compares the 2 planers elaborating on their differences.</p><p>An article titled "Beardslee's Planing Machine" published in the October 16 1852 issue of "Scientific American" states that "In the city of Albany Ahijah Jones has invested a large amount of capital in dressing lumber and has three of the Beardslee machines in active operation each of which as we learn by the Albany Argus dresses 4000 boards or planks in ten hours including all stoppages. One of these machines has planed stuff for Messrs. Boardman Gray of Albany -- the famous pianoforte makers -- which always was planed by hand heretofore no power planing machine being able to do the work. The stuff was for the 'Tuning Boards' of pianos." "Scientific American" goes on to praise the machine and in an article titled "The Beardslee Planing Machine Case" published in the November 20 1852 issue states that "The Planing Machine controversy which has been so long pending between Wilson and Gibson complainants and George W. Beardslee defendant and in relation to which a mass of testimony some 400 pages has been taken before a United States Judge has finally been adjusted the testimony adduced by the defendants being so conclusive that the application for an injunction fo restrain the use of Beardslee's machines had been abandoned."</p><p>RARE.</p> Albany: Joel Munsell, Law Printer, 1851. paperback
