"Thc TrinI of Aaron burr

w nat was III many respects the most
famous trial held in this country since
the adoption of the Federal Constitu-

United States courts at Richmond as
The United states versus Aaron Burr
Indictment for Treason"
In no other American case is there
to be found such an array OF historical
figures. The prisoner at the bar had
been one OF the most brilliant and un-
fortunate of public men. who but six
years before had tied Thomas Jeffcr-
son for the presidency III the Electoral
College, only to he defeated when the
election was thrown into the House of
Representatives, with the result that
jefferson became President and Burr
Vice-Presidcnt. Upon the hands OF the
accused was the blood OF the most
president statesman the nation has
ever known.
The presiding judge was the chief
Justice OF the Supreme Court OF the
= United States. John MARSHALL The
foreman OF the grand jury was John
Randolph of Roanoke. Among the
prosecutors was William Writ. who
afterward became one of the ablcst
of the Attorneys-G General of the United
States For the defense there was
Edmund Randolph. eX-Attorncy-Gi Gene

United states. John Wickham, Charles
Lee, N-Attorncy- General OF the
United States. and Washington Irving,
who it was thought might in some
way or other be of service with his
pen" On the grand jury were two cx-
Governors and future Governor OF
Virginia, all of whom served as United
States Senators, and one OF whom was

affidavit of Bu"r for subpoena duces

OF bridge over the Salmon River In
