New nonfiction full-cast recording from Voices of Today

 I'm always happy to participate in full-cast productions with Voices of Today.  This one is nonfiction and involves the noted American lawyer, Clarence Darrow. Debate on Capital Punishment by Emanuel Haldeman-Julius.

"Held at New York, on 27th October 1924

In a public debate held at the Manhattan Opera House, Clarence Darrow argued that not one of the 19 men under sentence of death at Sing Sing Prison would have been convicted if they could have afforded good attorneys. He was opposed by Judge Alfred J. Talley of General Sessions, who argued for the retention of the death penalty for murder. The debate commenced with an address by Lewis Lawes, who was the warden at Sing Sing.
