John Beard Allen correspondence regarding court case, 1902-1903.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123954016

The John Beard Allen correspondence regarding court case consists of a set of six unsigned, carbon copies of letters concerning the arrest and prosecution of Allen's son, George H. Allen, for a robbery he allegedly committed in Nome, Alaska. The single 1902 letter from John B. Beard deals with his efforts to get a new trial for his son. The five other letters were written in May 1903 (after the untimely death of Allen in January 1903) by an unidentified party to Allen's widow, as well as to the Solicitor General of the United States, Henry M. Hoyt, and the United States Attorney General, Philander C. Knox; one of these letters contains a synopsis of the testimony delivered by an unreliable witness to the crime.
