Friedman’s Letters at Steunenberg Trial Reveal Pinkerton Records
Morrias Friedman, the Russian stenographer who left Pinkerton and published agency correspondence, testified at the Steunenberg murder trial. The court reviewed Friedman’s copies of Pinkerton secret reports on unions and agents, showing surveillance of the Western Federation of Miners and United Mine Workers during Colorado labor troubles in 1903-04. The defense argues Pinkerton conspired against miners. the prosecution offered no objection to the documents. Friedman denied stealing papers and rejected labeling him a Pinkerton. He defended his actions as public service exposing agency methods.
