On May 2, 1962, a dramatic advertisement appeared in the San Francisco
Examiner. "I don't want my husband to die in the gas chamber for a crime
he did not commit. I will therefore offer my services for 10 years as a cook,
maid, or housekeeper to any leading attorney who will defend him and bring
about his vindication."
One of San Francisco's biggest lawyers saw the advertisement, felt
pity, and contacted the woman. After much work, he took on the case and ended
up getting the innocent man released from all charges. Afterward, the attorney
refused the lady's offer of ten years of service, noting that he was satisfied
to have saved an innocent man from death.
