It was among the most notorious criminal cases of its day. On August 11, 1921, in Birmingham, Alabama, a Methodist minister named Edwin Stephenson shot and killed a Catholic priest, James Coyle, in broad daylight and in front of numerous witnesses. The killer's motive? The priest had married Stephenson's eighteen-year-old daughter Ruth to Pedro Gussman, a Puerto Rican migrant and practicing Catholic.

Sharon Davies's Rising Road resurrects the murder of Father Coyle and the trial of his killer. As Davies reveals with novelistic richness, Stephenson's crime laid bare the most

Rising Road: A True Tale of Love, Race, and Religion in America by Sharon Davies Book Review

Name: James E. Egolf
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: A Well Written, Well Researched Account of an American Tragedy
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2011
Review: Sharon Davies, who is a Law Professor at Ohio State University, wrote an excellent book about predjudice, bigotry, and stupidty. The book titled RISING ROAD is a thorough yet depressing book about ignorance and injustice in "the land of the free." To state that Sharon Davies "did her homework" is an understatement.

The early 20th. century was a time of unreasonable hatred toward Catholicism and Catholics. Many state authorities had carte blanche unconstitutional power to make unannounced investigations of monastaries and convents in violation of Fourth Amendment Rights. Political candidates were elected based on virulent anti-Cathlocism. Wild stories were published about Catholic clergy conspiring with the Pope to store weapons and take control of the US Government. What is sad is that many Americans believed this nonsense without a shred of evidence.

Davies did a good job explaining the economic and political conditions in Birmingham, Alabama. Sly land investors were aware of iron ore and coal deposits in the Birmingham area and knew that the booming US steel industry would make this area a lucrative site for land speculation and investments. The blacks saw the prospect of industrial jobs as an escape from agricultural work only to be disappointed at the long hours, low wages, and poor living quarters.

In the midst of the economic and political environment, Catholics were marginalized. Father Coyle had serious disputes with klansmen and anti-Catholic bigots whom he successfully debated in newspaper articles. Father Coyle's Bishop was concerned with Father Coyle's safety, and, as events unfolded, this fear was well founded.

With this background, Sharon Davies wrote a detailed account of the murder of Father Coyle by a Rev. Stephenson because Stephonson's daughter converted to Catholicism and married a Catholic man in spite of brutality and threats to her life as well as threatened placement in a primitative asylum. Even though Father Coyle talked to Ruth Stephenson when she was 12, there was no attempt to convert her. Six years later she was received into the Catholic Church for which Rev. Stephenson murdered Father Coyle who was not the priest who received her. Rev. Stephenson had an unsavory reputation among fellow Metholidist clergy because of his own caper of trolling the local courthouse to perform marriages.

Readers must realize that when Rev. Stephenson murdered Father Coyle, torture was considered normal procedure in extracting confessions until 1936 when the US Supreme Court Justices correctly ruled that confessions extracted by torture were in violation of Eighth Amendment Rights and were unconstitional (MISSIPPI VS. BROWN). Rev. Stephenson was never subjected to such duress although black suspects were. The Jefferson County Coroner finally concluded in his inquest that the murder of Father Coyle was premeditated murder resulting in a grand jury hearing.

Prior to the grand jury hearing, Sharon Davies gave a detailed account of conflict of between the prosecutor and Hugo Black who was the lead attorney of for Rev. Stephenson. Readers may know that later Hugo Black was confirmed as a US Supreme Court Justice. The lead prosecutor was Joe Tate whose politcal disputes with Hugo Black were well known in Jefferson County,Alabama. Such details gave the book an interesting background.

Once the grand jury returned a true bill of indictment for second degree murder, the trial showed racism and bigotry as major factors. Ruth Stephenson's husband, Pedro Gussman was registered as white. He was not segregated as black. Yet, he may have been surprised that during the trial he became black because of his Hispanic ancestry and his place of birth in Puerto Rico. Hugo Black asked how Pedro Gussman knew his parents were Spaniards to which Gussman responded simply that his parents told him so.

Hugo Black and his defense team tried to impugn Ruth Stephenon's testimony. They carefully avoided any references of her being beaten and mistreated because of her familiarity with Catholicism. When Hugo Black tried to make a case that Ruth Stephenson was coerced or lured into the Catholic Faith, she refuted such nonsense by claiming that she made the decision of her own accord without any prompting by Catholic priests. Hugo Black also used the self-defense arguement and temporary insanity defense. Davies made a good point that there were no powder burns on Father Coyle refuting any claim of a fight or self defense. Witness testimony confirmed there was no physical altercation between Rev. Stephenson and Father Coyle.

The trial ended in an aquittal of Rev. Stephonson. Ruth and Pedro Gussman were divorced. Pedro was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 1931 who was never apprehended. Ruth died from tuberculoses. The events were an American tragedy. Sharon Davies deserves high praise for meticulous research, good written expression, and a good history. Her book is timely and reported an event in US History that has been ignored until she wrote this book.

Title: Riveting
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2010
Review: This book may be one of the most important published this year.

The murder of Fr. James Coyle, a Roman Catholic priest, at the hands of a Methodist minister and Klu Klux Klan member Rev. Edwin Stevenson made for one of the most sensational trials of the last century. The murder took place in 1921.

Rev. Stevenson shot Fr. Coyle in cold blood because Coyle's daughter had converted to Catholicism and had married a dark skinned Puerto Rican in the Church. The murder was a pure act of hatred and malice.

And Stevenson was acquitted of the crime. The judge, several members of the Jury, and the defense attorneys were all current (or future) members of the Klu Klux Clan.

The Rev. Stevenson was represented by Hugo Black, when Black was a young attorney. Black was a Freemason, and later a member of the Klan. I must note that his eventual career as a Supreme Court Justice is filled with many many accomplishments. I have reviewed his decisions and find him absolutely prescient. I think his constant stand for civil rights is to be admired, as is his brave dissent on Griswold vs. Connecticut, which is a case that set the precedent for one of the worse cases in Court history.

But this brave career in defense of the Constitution, civil rights, and school desegregation was decades in the future when he took the Rev. Stevenson as a client.

His defense of Stevenson was very aggressive, and played to the prejudices of the jurors.

Fr. James Coyle by contrast was a Knight of Columbus and a chaplain for his local Knights council. He was an ardent defender of the faith, and a very brave man. For a Catholic priest in Birmingham Alabama early in the last century, the dangers were many. But Coyle was from a line of freedom fighters in Ireland, and was not the type of person to hide from the likes of the Klu Klux Klan. Every evening he would sit on his rectory's front porch and do his work there in the open air. If those who wanted him dead wanted to, they always knew where to find him.

I too am a Knight, and I find great solace in reading about this member of the order. There are many parallels between Fr. Coyle's self-sacrificial life of service, and the life of service of the founder of our Order, the Venerable Fr. Michael J, McGiveny.
