Episode Star-Spangled Insanity
On the afternoon of Saturday, February 27, 1859, the nation's capital was thrown into a state of excitement over an incident which took place at Lafayette Square. At two o'clock, two distinguished gentlemen met each other on the square. One offered his hand for a handshake, the other refused. Instead, he put his hand in his pocket and drew a pistol.
This is the true story of a self-taught lawyer with the audacity to try a never-before-used defense-- with his own neck on the line.
