"Hertz was prosecuted for violating the Neutrality Act, allegedly aiding England's efforts to recruit American citizens for the British army in its war against Russia. He had sought to avoid the reach of the Act by enticing his prospects across the border to Canada. President Pierce's Administration went on the offensive against this British challenge to American sovereignty. Pierce's Attorney General, Caleb Cushing, "directed the prosecution of Crampton, the British minister in Washington, on the charge of recruiting soldiers within our borders for the British army during the Crimean War" [DAB]. This document includes the impanelment of the jury, the indictments, opening and closing arguments, testimony, charge to the jury, and Hertz's confession." --David M.
