520 1 $a"Blind Obedience tells how the testimony of Alf Moore, an African-American man, was critical to putting a white man on the gallows, possibly the first time a black man's testimony was taken so seriously. The book also documents a series of appeals by Macon attorney John Raldolph Cooper that delayed the hanging of Rawlins for sixteen months, a respite that was unheard of at the time. Even today, the Rawlins case is remembered as the most famous murder case in the history of Lowndes County, as well as one of the most notorious in Southern history."--BOOK JACKET.
