Such causes as the Scottsboro trials, if of no elective advantage, may crown the Liebowitz career with a judgeship. As for the clients his talents have freed, not all have lived to praise him. Liebowitz sent "Mad Dog" Coll back into the streets. Brother gangsters wiped him out within a week. Convict Max Becker, missing the electric chair for the prison guard's murder, went back to face prison guards who did not forget. The electric chair burns...
