Death ends Oberlin Carter 45 year fight for vindication
Oberlin M. Carter, 88, of Patriot Ohio, once hailed as the American Dreyfus, died of pneumonia in Chicago after a decades long battle to overturn a 1899 court martial convicting him of defrauding the government over rivers and harbors work. He was dismissed from the Army, fined $5,000, and jailed at Leavenworth for five years. His case spanned 27 federal rulings and four Supreme Court sessions. Carter said he fought to clear his name but paused at war outbreak to avoid harming the effort. He claimed the charges arose from enmity with politicians after he refused to back a canal route through Nicaragua.
