24. 1954, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/mccurdy_gallery/12/thumbnail.jpgGlimpse of the Cuyahoga Prosecutor’s office in 1954 during time of the first Sam Sheppard trial. Prosecutor Frank T. Cullitan is seated in front row to the far right and standing behind him to the far right is Assistant Prosecutor Thomas J. Parrino. Merle McCurdy is located on the far left. Long-time attorney, Gerald S. Gold conveyed that both McCurdy and Parrino were the two best trial attorneys in Cleveland in the Prosecutor’s office at that time. They were so good, that Parrino was put in charge of handling the infamous Dr. Sam Sheppard case. Merle, however, as an African American, was not permitted to participate in the Sheppard case. While legal scholars of the time state that the Prosecutor’s Office in Cleveland was not an “apartheid-type” system, concerns were raised that white jurors would have difficulty convicting a white defendant prosecuted by an African American. Likewise, similar concerns existed with white prosecutors seeking to try cases at that time involving an African American defendant. This concern would have been magnified with a high-profile case involving Dr. Sheppard. Sources Gold, G.S. by Dana, R. (Personal Communication, April 23, 2015).

No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/mccurdy_gallery/28/thumbnail.jpgMerle McCurdy shaking hands with Cuyahoga County Prosecutor, Frank T. Cullitan. In 1952, Merle accepted an appointment as an Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor. Louis Stokes, in his autobiography, “The Gentleman from Ohio,” explained that he and his brother, Carl, were hired to fill the void left upon Merle’s departure from Minor’s office. When McCurdy and Minor found themselves as adversaries, “the courtroom would fill to overflowing with lawyers and others eager to witness a battle of two courtroom masters” (2016, p. 40).

Ansonia, Darke County, Ohio, 1951

The Sanborn Maps are large scale street plans produced by the Sanborn Fire Insurance Company from 1867 to 1970. Sanborn Maps show the outline of each building including the location of windows and doors together with street names, street and sidewalk widths, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers. The maps display building materials, number of floors, and building purpose (if available). Businesses, churches, and government structures are often identified as well as the business type (cotton mill, automobile repair, etc.). An individual homeowner/occupier is not identified.
These maps are used by a wide range of researchers including local historians to locate and identify buildings and neighborhoods, urban historians to study the growth of towns and cities, and environmentalists concerned about impact of new developments.
The Library of Congress held three paper copies of the Sanborn maps for each state. In the early 1950’s, the Library of Congress distributed one set for each state to a state land grant university, and Kent State was chosen to house this important collection.1:80
