D. M. Bennett by Rod Bradford PDF Summary

Book Description: "Bennett's opposition to religion and puritanical obscenity laws infuriated Comstock, the self-proclaimed "weeder in God's garden." Comstock arrested Bennett for publishing his incendiary "An Open Letter to Jesus Christ" and entrapped the elderly editor for mailing a free-love pamphlet. Bennett was prosecuted, subjected to a widely publicized trial, and finally imprisoned in the Albany (New York) Penitentiary. "The charge is ostensibly 'obscenity,'" Bennett wrote. "But the real offense is that I presume to utter sentiments and opinions in opposition to the views entertained by the Christian Church.""
