Publisher's Synopsis

In 1916, Herman J. Rossi, one of Wallace, Idaho's leading citizens, shot and killed his young wife's lover, Clarence "Gabe" Dahlquist. A jury readily acquitted Rossi after a week-long trial. The unwritten law was widely credited with the jury's decision. This book explores both the details of Rossi's trial and the historical sociology of the unwritten law.
