Chicago's Communist Trial

[edit]

The Press Club of Chicago invited attorney Frank D. Comerford to discuss the “most Dastardly Conspiracy in the History of the World,” Bolshevism. Just a month prior to the lecture promoted in this flyer, Comerford had successfully convicted twenty communist and socialist organizers in Chicago’s famous “Communist Trial.” Civil libertarian Clarence Darrow served as the communists’ attorney. All twenty of the convicted men were arrested during Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer’s Red Raids. After Comerford’s legal triumph, he was considered an expert on the “peril of Bolshevism.”[1]2600:1700:F270:15D0:C07B:6200:EEF0:B85 (talk) 01:18, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
