  • United States V. Hodges: Treason, Jury Trials, and the War of 1812
    FOREWORD: Title United States v. Hodges: Treason, Jury Trials, and the War of 1812 Author Jennifer Elisa Smith Document Type Article Publication Date 2016 Keywords Legal history, treason, jury, Justice Gabriel Duvall, War of 1812 Abstract In August 1814 a number of British soldiers were arrested as stragglers or deserters in the town of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Upon learning of the soldiers’ absences the British military took local physician, Dr. William Beanes, and two other residents into custody and threatened to burn Upper Marlboro if the British soldiers were not returned. John Hodges, a local attorney, arranged the soldiers’ return to the British military. For this, Hodges was charged with high treason for “adhering to [the] enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” The resulting jury trial was presided over by Justice Gabriel Duvall, a Supreme Court Justice and Prince Georges County native, and highlights how the crime of treason was viewed in early American culture and the role of the jury as deciders of the facts and the law in early American jurisprudence. Contextually, Hodges’ trial took place against the backdrop of the War of 1812 and was informed by the 1807 treason trial of Aaron Burr. Disciplines Law, constitutional history, legal history 1 UNITED STATES V.

Randolph never married, probably due to a genetic disorder known as Klinefelter Syndrome, in which a male has an extra X chromosome, which leads to infertility, impotency, and beardlessness. Some con- tend his long affliction with tuberculosis was the cause. His disorder also left the successful political orator with a well- known high-pitched voice. Despite his feminine-sounding voice, his speeches in Congress were known for their power, which struck fear in the hearts of political opponents. When Randolph entered the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, with spurs jingling and his favorite hounds around him, his hat pulled down to his eyes, and a whip in his hand, the speaker of the House did not dare challenge him. At least not until Randolphs nemesis, Henry Clay, became speaker in 1811, and ordered the dogs out. Randolph opposed Clay over Clays John Randolph’s support of the Bank of the United States, Journey on Slavery high protective tariffs, and the Kentuck- ians advocacy of war with the British.
