In 1917 a bomb exploded in a Milwaukee police station, killing nine
officers and a civilian. Days later, a trial began for eleven
Italian immigrants who had already been in jail for months for an
unrelated riot. The specter of the bombing, for which no one had
been arrested, haunted the proceedings. Against the backdrop of
World War I and amid a prevailing hatred and fear of radical
immigrants and anarchists, the Italians had an unfair trial. Famed
attorney Clarence Darrow led an appeal that gained freedom for most
of the convicted, but his own methods were deeply suspect. The
entire case left a dark, though largely forgotten, stain on
American justice.
