520    Reflecting on a sensational murder trial from the late 
       1930s, this chronicle focuses upon the death of Harry 
       Barck, a poormaster who was granted the authority to 
       decide who would and would not receive public aid in 
       Hoboken, New Jersey. Unemployed mason Joe Scutellaro was 
       said to have stabbed Barck in the heart with a paper spike
       after the poormaster suggested that Scutellaro's wife 
       prostitute herself on the streets rather than ask the city
       for aid. A legal team led by celebrated defender Samuel S.
       Leibowitz of Scottsboro Boys fame swooped into Hoboken 
       from Manhattan to save Scutellaro from the electric chair,
       arguing that the jobless man's struggle with the 
       poormaster was a symbol of larger social ills. The book 
       details Leibowitz's transformation of the Scutellaro trial
       into an indictment of public relief as a tool for imposing
       social and political control nationwide. Grappling with 
       issues that are still vital nowmassive unemployment, 
       endemic poverty, and the inadequacy of public 
       assistancethis examination lends insight into the current 
       social contract, relaying a gripping narrative that 
       shockingly reads like today's news.
