About This Item
Louisville.: The Filson Club Book. Very Good. Soft cover. pp366-389, two photos. Removed from THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY, Vol 69, No. 4, October, 1995. VG in report covers. Articles from this publication may include a first or last copied page. In the 1870's a very heated controversy arose between Thomas F. Hargis and Thomas M. Green. Hargis had run for circuit judge, but had been charged with tampering with the Rowan County judicial records. Green was the editor and publisher of the Maysville Eagle. The situation took on a life of its own, simmering for years, finally evolving into a four month long trial, involving teams of lawyers for each side, and described as "the most celebrated case ever tried in the annals of Kentucky" representing "the first time in the history of Kentucky that a judge of the supreme court has ever been made a party to any suit involving his fitness for the bench or his character as a judge.".
