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