Publisher Description:
1906. A volume from The District Attorney Series. Train was the former assistant district attorney in New York City. His interactions with clients, together with his experiences in the courtroom, provided the material for the more than 250 short stories and novels he would write during his lifetime. The object of this book is to correct the very general erroneous impression as to certain phases of criminal justice, and to give a concrete idea of its actual administration in large cities in ordinary cases, -cases quite as important to the defendants and to the public as those which attract widespread attention. Contents: What is Crime? Who are the Real Criminals; The Arrest; The Police Court; The Trial of Misdemeanors; The Grand Jury; The Law's Delays; Red Tape; The Trial of Felonies; The Judge; The Jury; The Witness; The Verdict; and The Sentence.
