This landmark decision established the legal precedent exempting Catholic priests from disclosing evidence relating to criminal activities learned through the Sacrament of Confession. "The case against Daniel Phillips for receiving stolen property hung on the prosecution's attempt to extract testimony from Anthony Kohlmann a Catholic priest who may have heard Phillips's confession. The extensive 'Report' p. 5-114 gives a good general account of confidential conversation between defendants and religious leaders doctors lawyers spouses and other persons. Although the district attorney claimed to be reluctant to pursue the matter Catholic authorities had asked that the question be settled before the court. The court recognized the inviolability of the confessional and Phillips was acquitted due to lack of evidence.": Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14043. unknown books

Minor chipping to head and foot. Protected in mylar. An exceedingly rare copy in original wrapper.<br /><br />The Reichstag fire February 27 1933 was a critical event in the expansion of Nazi power. Hitler seized upon the building's fire as evidence of communist scheming and the following day a state of emergency was declared and orders were given for all KPD The Communist Party of Germany members of the Reichstag to be arrested. The Reichstag Fire Decree imposed restrictions on the press banned political meetings and marches and intercepted communications. The legal concept of habeas corpus was suspended allowing the regime to detain suspected terrorists or revolutionaries without charge. This emergency decree was followed in March by the Enabling Act giving the Nazis dictatorial control for a five-year period. <br /><br />While the Reichstag fire was undoubtedly arson who was responsible remains one of history's great mysteries. Arrested at the rear of the building was Marinus van der Lubbe a 23-year-old Dutch communist who claimed sole and full responsibility denying the existence of co-conspirators. Also arrested were Ernst Torgler the chairman of the KPD three Bulgarians Georgi Dimitrov Blagoi Popov and Vassili Tanev. At their trial December 23 1933 Judge Wilhelm Bürger found Marinus van der Lubbe was guilty of "arson and with attempting to overthrow the government". The Judge further concluded that the German Communist Party had indeed planned the fire in order to start a revolution but the evidence against the other defendants was insufficient to justify a conviction. Marinus van der Lubbe was executed January 10 1934. Nearly 75 years after the event the German government granted him a posthumous pardon.<br /> hardcover
