  • Counter-Terrorism and the Law
    WINTER 2009 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report Defending the Homeland: Counter-terrorism and the Law INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT THE WINTER ISSUE of the IU Law–Indianapolis Alumni Magazine and Dean’s Report. The fall semester has been a busy one at the law school, as this magazine attests. In the following pages, you will read about the groundbreaking counter-terrorism simulation that took place at the school in October as part of Professor Shawn Boyne’s Seminar in National Security Law. During the simulation, students played the roles of government officials responding to simulated terrorist attacks across the country and right here in Indianapolis. In January, WFYI, the local PBS affiliate, will air a documentary about this event. The magazine also includes information about the new legal clinic in Eldoret, Kenya, that our school has helped to establish and continues to support. I had the honor of visiting the clinic in October and am in awe of what has been accomplished there in a very short time. You will also read about and see photos of the recent Board of Visitors Reception at the school, hosted by law school alumnus, and former U.S. Vice President, Dan Quayle. We had a packed house for the event that brought many friends back to the school to visit and reminisce. I also want to take a moment to remember our beloved Professor Mary Harter Mitchell, whose sudden and untimely passing in November of this year leaves a tremendous void in our law school family.

  • Personal Politics in Indiana 1816-1840 ADAM A
    Personal Politics in Indiana 1816-1840 ADAM A. LEONARD (Continued) THE REACTIONAND THE RISE OF THE WHIGS The reign of terror, among office holders, instituted by Jackson had been anticipated by Indiana politicians more than a year before it began. The Terre Haute Register feared it, but the Western Sun, and General Advertiser saw good reason for it. It said in reply to the Register: Certainly there are many offices which cannot have the least bearing on the measures of the general government. But with some offices it is otherwise. As to such, perhaps distinction as to party, might now with propriety be made.1 This feeling apparently was general among the followers of Jackson and no doubt the hope of appointment caused them to put forth more energy to secure a victory than otherwise they would. Jackson’s declaration in January before he came into office, that he has never been, and never would be the cause of the least heart burning, but when slander was resorted to, the country ransacked for secret tales and those promulgated to injure the feelings and character of anyone those capable of such conduct ought to be condemned by all high-minded, honest and honorable men,z came as a welcome bit of information to them. The people of the state were made aware of what they were to expect, when in the first month of his administration Jackson dismissed Gen. William Henry Harrison, as minister to Columbia and appointed Thomas P. Moore. The memory of the Battle of Tippecanoe made Harrison a popular hero in the state and his dismissal brought a storm of protest.

    How Our Best Known Assassin Became a Hoosier by Charles B. Huppert On January 7, 1930, a telltale letter was written by Robert B. Stewart of Brazil, Indiana to the daughter of John B. Wilkes who had lived in Terre Haute, Indiana, from about 1850 until his death in 1916. A claim was being made against Mr. Wilkes’ estate under a will executed on September 12th 1883, in Bombay, India, by John Byron Wilkes. The Terre Haute Wilkes was born on December 15, 1822, in Sheffield, England, to Samuel Wilkes and Olivia Barber Wilkes. The India Wilkes had left the United States and entered India through Ceylon, claiming that he was born in Sheffield on December 15, 1822 to Samuel and Olivia Wilkes. Robert Burns Stewart, at the time he wrote the letter, was a young lawyer of age thirty-one. In 1944 he would become the elected Circuit Court Judge of Clay County, Indiana, a position he would hold for 26 years until his death on August 27, 1970. This author was, at the time of his death, entering his last year of law school, and he clearly remembers the stir and flutter about Judge Stewart’s unexpected death. Judge Stewart was to the bench and bar in Indiana no ordinary jurist. His reputation placed him as a jurist of the highest caliber. Thus we can conclude that the facts presented in Robert Stewart’s letter are, in his mind, accurate. And, given his propensity for fastidiousness, those facts are undoubtedly true. In his letter he intentionally failed to divulge what is believed to be the true identity of the John B.

(Concluded) The Lecompton Struggle After the election, interest in Indiana was directed toward the meeting of the next General Assembly. Should the Re publicans follow the example set by the Democrats in 1855 by refusing to go into a joint election?

For the first time since 1840 the Democrats had failed to win the electoral votes of Indiana.21 § § During the last stages of the campaign the Democrats had adopted alarmist tactics, warning that a victory by the sec­ tional Republican party would inaugurate “ a strife which must end either in civil war for the mastery or a peaceful division of the Union”— and ruin for the economic interests of the North­ west. When the Republicans triumphed in the state election, the Sentinel cried: “ The ‘irrepressible conflict’ of Seward and Lincoln has commenced. No human foresight can see the end.” T o predictions of this sort the Republican press replied that Lincoln’s policies would be calculated to “ restore and strengthen kind and fraternal feelings between all the patriotic citizens of the several states.” On the eve of the election, the Indianapolis Journal scoffed that the threats of secession in the southern press were mere election-year bluff. “ One single year of Lincoln’s administration,” it confidently as­ serted, would expose the hollowness of the secession threat so effectually “ that it will never be heard of again.” 22 When events in the South proved the Democrats the truer prophets, there was a tendency for them to place the blame for secession squarely on the Republicans.
