He Wants Heavy Damages From Prussia Case
Ferdinand Holzendorff petitioned the district supreme court for a mandamus against Secretary of State Hay to force actions against Prussia to recover 590000 dollars for alleged unjust detention in a German asylum. Justice Hagner refused the writ, deeming the matter political and lacking a legal right to the writ. Holzendorff, a German native and US naturalized citizen, says he was falsely imprisoned in an asylum near Berlin from May 11, 1898, to July 8, 1899, until declared sound by Germany’s highest court.
