Abstract
It took until mid-March 1887 for the anarchists’ appeal to finally make its way onto the state supreme court’s docket. In the months between their sentencing and their appeal hearing, the defense legal team was reshuffled. Salomon and Zeisler, the anarchists’ original law partners, went their separate ways, apparently because they could not agree on how to divvy up the steady work provided by their most important client, the Central Labor Union (CLU). When the CLU washed its hands of the problem and freed individual unions to choose for themselves who they wished to retain, the rivalry between the two radical lawyers doomed their partnership.1
