Fiction · 1921
By Advice of Counsel
When a brick shatters Froelich's butcher-shop window, the boy who takes the blame is sixteen-year-old Tony Mathusek, arrested in his red sweater while Officer Delany, who saw the real culprit throw it, swears it was Tony. The shyster lawyer Raphael B. Hogan and his runner Joey Simpkins descend on Tony's frightened mother, draining her savings for a defense they never intend to mount and stalling the case through five rigged adjournments, until old Ephraim Tutt of Tutt & Tutt gets wind of the racket and dismantles it in open court.
By Advice of Counsel collects the early adventures of Ephraim Tutt, the crusading Manhattan lawyer Arthur Train introduced in 1919; Charles Scribner's Sons published the volume in 1921.
Bibliomancer restores the 1921 text exactly as Train wrote it.
