{"value"=>"<p>The legal cases are arranged by case title followed by miscellaneous papers in chronological order. The papers include correspondence with clients, attorneys, government and union officials and others, and court papers including printed briefs, transcripts of pre-trial examinations, trial books, court orders and opinions, affidavits, summonses and notices. Included are records of Canal Zone vs. Rounsevell and U. S. vs. Osman involving respectively criminal libel and espionage in which LW served as defense counsel, and records of Davis vs. Curtis Publishing Co. and Benjamin Stolberg reflecting an action for libel against Stolberg for his article on \"Communist Wreckers in American Labor\" published in the Saturday Evening Post. Included in the correspondence relating to this case is a letter (May 18, 1943) by John Dewey to LW. Among other cases which achieved a large publicity are two immigration cases, that of U. S. ex rel. Kleczkowski vs. Watkins concerning the attempt of Dr. Karl Kleczkowski and his wife, who were espionage agents in Turkey during W. W. II, to avoid deportation, and the case of Walter G. Krivitsky, a former official of Soviet military intelligence who sought to remain in the U. S. and who was found dead in a hotel room allegedly the victim of Stalin's secret police.</p>"}
