Atlanta Trial Highlights Green Goods Scheme
Two Atlanta lawyers R C Burkhardt and J W Hamilton faced charges of cheating in a green goods swindle before Justice C Landrum. Davis the black gardener testified that Burkhardt and Hamilton aided a counterfeit scheme, with Burkhardt bound over for criminal court and Hamilton’s case dismissed. Davis claimed forged checks and forged signatures, while defense witnesses corroborated Hamilton’s innocence. The long, courtroom sequence drifted through June 1899 events with conflicting accounts and doubtful recoveries.
