Inscription. In a landmark decision on April 3, 186, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conspiracy against the national government conviction of Huntington attorney Lambdin P. Milligan (1812-1899). This decision rising out of the Civil War, set a precedent which protects civilians from being tried in military courts, even in time of war, if the civil courts are open and functioning. (4 Wallace 2. 1866)

Erected by American Revolution Bicentennial 1776-1976.
