Knox's Supreme Court argument in the landmark Northern Securities Case and the federal government's appeal of the case from the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court was likely bound by Knox as a gift to a colleague or friend. Decided in 1904 the Northern Securities Case was a pivotal case in the legal history of the Progressive Era and the history of railroads in the American West. The Northern Securities Company was a powerful trust formed by J.P. Morgan and James G. Hill to control railroad trunk lines in the Northwest and into Chicago and stifle competition. President Roosevelt seeing an opportunity to exert federal power against a business monopoly instructed Knox to bring suit against the Northern Securities Company. Knox handled the case personally writing the appeal from the decision of the Minnesota Circuit Court and arguing the government's case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Invoking the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 Knox argued that The Northern Securities Company acted in restraint of trade. The Court's decision on a 5-4 vote with Oliver Wendell Holmes and Chief Justice Melville Fuller dissenting upheld the government's argument affirming the constitutionality of the Sherman Antitrust Act. unknown books

Assembled by an unknown attorney or law clerk the 19 items in this volume a 2-part transcript 15 briefs an oral argument and the opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts form a documentary record of Owens v. Butler 297 U.S. 1 1936 the case that brought about the demise of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933. Part of Roosevelt's New Deal this was a Federal law that aimed to raise the value of crops by paying farmers and ranchers to reduce production. The money for these subsidies was generated through an exclusive tax on companies that processed farm products. This led to a series of seven suits by processors who believed they were being taxed unfairly. The most important of these was Owens v. Butler. As framed by the plaintiff's lawyers it asserted the right of a taxpayer to question the validity of a Federal tax. The Court decided in favor of Owens ruling that the taxes instituted under the 1933 Agricultural Adjustment Act were unconstitutional under the Tenth Amendment. As argued by Justice Roberts the tax was not valid because it was established in conjunction with coercive contracts with proceeds earmarked for the benefit of farmers complying with the prescribed conditions. The court also held that the basic premise of the act paying a farmer to produce less to manipulate prices went beyond the powers of the national government. The issues raised by Owens v. Butler were addressed by the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 which continue. unknown books

The caption refers to the protracted nature of the Becker-Rosenthal Murder case which began on October 7 1912 restarted on May 2 1914 and finally concluded after a series of procedural events in 1915. The case involved a group of corrupt police offices led by Charles Becker who ran a protection racket on illegal casinos. Becker hired gangsters to kill a casino owner and rival gangster who was threatening to expose the racket. A breathtaking example of police corruption the investigation and trial was front-page news in New York for months. In the end Becker was sent to the electric chair at Sing Sing. This was the first time a police officer received the death penalty. The case lived on for several years in the popular imagination; it is mentioned for example in The Great Gatsby 1925.
