"The Little Man Who Wasn’t There” was the name Herb Eikenbary, the most colorful lawyer in the history of the Dayton Bar, gave to his client Al Fouts in the famous trial of Bugs Moran that took place in Judge Martin’s courtroom in August of 1946. It is also the title of Dave Greer’s new book which chronicles the wayward life of Al Fouts as a non-leading citizen of Dayton from 1891 to 1981. If you have $20.00 and would like a copy, you can make the exchange with the receptionist at Dave’s office at 6 North Main Street, Suite 400. If you would like a signed copy, call Dave at (937) 272-4459. In the first significant trial of Fouts’ career as a defendant, a slight case of a 1916 murder, he was defended by Jack Egan, the most notorious criminal defense lawyer in the history of the Dayton Bar. Dave’s book on Egan is also available at the same place for the same price.

Excerpt from "The Little Man Who Wasn't There":
1859 Abraham Lincoln spoke from the steps of the 1850 courthouse. At that event Robert Schenck was the f irst individual to suggest him as a possible candidate for the presidency of the United States. In 1914 Al Fouts was launched into his first sojourn at the Ohio State Penitentiary from the 1884 courthouse. Unlike Lincoln, he did not always listen to the better angels of his nature. To his credit, he believed in the concept of "malice towards none" despite having little sympathy with "charity for all."
