1956184698Pretoria: The Government Printer 1956. A major moment in South African history First edition of the indictment for the "Treason Trial" in which Nelson Mandela and almost the entire anti-apartheid leadership were prosecuted. One defendant Ahmed Kathrada has signed beside his name; the signature was acquired by a collector in recent years. "The core of the treason charge related to a momentous - and for the government disconcerting - event at Kliptown on the outskirts of Johannesburg on 25-26 June 1955. The delegates were drawn from the ranks of the Congress Alliance a coalition of race-based anti-apartheid groups - the ANC still Africans only the Indian Congresses the Coloured People's Congress and the white mix of communists and non-communists. They had come together to draw up the country's first democratic constitution. Out of the deliberations came the endorsement of a Freedom Charter which to western eyes was an unexceptionable statement of democratic principles and equal rights owing something to the UN Charter but virtually nothing to the Communist Manifesto" Herbstein pp. 28-9. In response 156 individuals who attended or were associated with the meeting were arrested under the 1950 Suppression of Communism Act. The trial helped unite the anti-apartheid movement and attracted worldwide support for the struggle and international condemnation of the South African government. The trial lasted over four years after which all the accused were acquitted. However soon after Mandela and other defendants were imprisoned following the Rivonia Trial. 3 vols bound in 1 as issued folio.

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
