Biographical/historical
note:
Luis Kutner, lawyer,
author, lecturer, artist, entrepreneur, poet, athlete, and musician, was born
in Chicago on June 9, 1908, the son of Paul Kutner, a house painter and
decorator, and Ella Kutner. Kutner's religious background was Jewish, and he
described his ancestry as "mixed French, English, Spanish, German, and
Russian." An inveterate romantic, he liked to tell newspaper reporters
that when his mother was a young Russian-Turkish girl she was kidnapped at the
age of 11 and forced to become a dancing girl in the harem of a Turkish pasha.
She was rescued from her captivity at age 15 by some Russian sailors who took
her to the Crimea where she was protected by a young painter and opera student,
Paul Kutner, whom she later married.
Reared in Chicago's
Humboldt Park neighborhood, Luis Kutner graduated from Lane Technical High
School and attended the University of Chicago, but did not complete a degree.
He worked his way through John Marshall Law School by his own account, playing
piano at Big Jim Colosimo's Cafe. In 1930 Kutner graduated from law school and
was admitted to the bar. He married Rose Kutner and, in the 1940s, two children
were born to them, a daughter, Rima Joy, and a son, Christopher. The Kutners resided
for many years in Evanston, Illinois.
During most of his
career as an attorney, Kutner was in general practice, making his living from
real estate legal work, wills, divorces, personal injury suits, and tax and
finance cases, but also taking on many indigent defendants in criminal cases.
He traces his one-man crusade against unjust incarceration to his own
experience as a young boy. Caught fishing illegally in Humboldt Park (or
Garfield Park) at age 12 (or 10)--the details vary depending on when he told
the story--Kutner was clapped into a jail cell and forgotten for a weekend.
Later, as a practicing attorney, he undertook a large number of defenses of persons
protesting unjust imprisonment, first in Chicago and other parts of Illinois,
and eventually on an international scale as the originator (and virtually sole
practitioner) of his concept of "world habeas corpus."
Kutner was active in
Cook County Democratic politics in the 1930s. In 1928, prior to completing his
law degree, he had served as secretary to Superior Court Judge Frank Comerford.
Eventually he came to the attention of Mayor Anton Cermak, who, according to
Kutner, asked him to establish the Young People's Democratic League and to
campaign for Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential candidacy in 1932. Kutner's
political aspirations apparently ended in 1936 when he was defeated in a bid
for the U.S. Representative seat in the 7th Illinois Congressional District.
His experiences as a
youth on the fringes of the Chicago mob (see "My Life with Capone,"
box 53) and as a court reporter for the Chicago Crime Commission from 1927-1928
gave Kutner unusual insights in to the working of organized crime in Chicago.
Kutner claimed credit as the instigator of the Kefauver Crime Committee, 1950-1951.
He also alleged that he had been a target of the killers of Police Captain
William Drury, who was murdered September 25, 1950, as he was preparing to
testify before the Kefauver Committee.
Kutner constantly
sought financial and moral support from the famous for his numerous causes and
ventures. He actively sought publicity for these undertakings and delighted in
receiving mention in Irv Kupcinet's widely read gossip column in the Chicago Sun-Times and in other publications. A
charming, energetic, self-confident person, Kutner also fancied himself a
romantic--as seen, for example, in his correspondence with Dotty Stern (in box
10) and in his fiction writings in the collection, which contain thinly
disguised accounts of his love life (see "The Dust of Love" by Alycia
Conquest, a pseudonym for Kutner).
Kutner established
the Commission for International Due Process of Law in 1955, to extend the
application of international law to individuals after becoming dissatisfied
with the United Nations and the World Court as vehicles for "world habeas
corpus." The Commission was incorporated in 1970. Kutner's concept of "world
habeas corpus" involved the use of writs and petitions on behalf of
political prisoners held without due process by governments throughout the
world. He claimed to have conceived the idea in 1931 as a means of rescuing
European Jews from the Nazis, but apparently did not attempt to apply it until
1951, when he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus with the United
Nations Commission on Human Rights on behalf of an American journalist
imprisoned in Czechoslovakia. In 1967, he filed a writ to prevent the
extradition of former Congolese premier Moïse Tshombe from Algeria. In the 1970s, he filed
petitions for Soviet Jews prevented from emigrating and for Irish political
prisoners in Ulster.
In 1978, Kutner
started an organization to speak for the rights of elderly victims of violent
crimes, the Senior Citizens Crime Commission. As head of the SCCC, he was
appointed by Jane M. Byrne to her transition team when she was elected Mayor of
Chicago in 1979. Kutner quickly became disenchanted with Byrne and resigned
from her administration.
Still healthy and
active in 1982 at the age of 74 Kutner continued to pursue a broad range of
interests. Over the last forty years or more, he wrote numerous unpublished
novels, published poetry and songs, and, in the 1970s, had his own publishing
company, Bardian House Publishers. Using a unique mixture of oil paint and
vinegar, Kutner also created original oil paintings and exhibited them in a
number of shows.
Kutner promoted a
wide range of business ideas over the years, most of which probably never came
to fruition. His most interesting business ideas include story lines for
television series and scripts for Broadway musicals; a fast-food chain for the
hippie generation of 1969, called "Alice's Restaurant" after the Arlo
Guthrie movie of that title (mentioned in box 10); and production of jojoba oil
from the Mexican jojoba plant, which he believed had the potential to help "Save
the Whales" by providing a commercially viable substitute for whale oil.
The diversity of his
multiple endeavors and the energy with which he pursued them lends some
credence to the description of Luis Kutner as a Renaissance man, the "Da
Vinci of the legal profession." Mr. Kutner died on March 1, 1993.
Summary
description of the collection:
Correspondence; news
clipping scrapbooks; manuscripts of legal articles, fiction, poetry, short
stories; some legal and business records; and sound recordings of radio
interviews of Luis Kutner, a lawyer who became involved in public-interest
lawsuits and other high-profile cases in Chicago and in national and
international affairs; and an author whose writings ranged from philosophy and legal
theory to poetry, fictionalized accounts of his love life, and reminiscences of
playing piano in a mob hangout during his youth. Topics in the collection vary
widely and include international law, civil liberties, the entertainment
industry, publishing, creative writing, organized crime and criminals, politics--both
local and national, racism and anti-Semitism, religion, and old age.
The collection
includes background research on Ku Klux Klan influence in the Waukegan (Ill.)
area in the 1920s and Kutner's 1949 success in winning freedom for James
Montgomery, an African American who spent decades in prison; newsclippings on
Frank Costello, files on the Kefauver hearings on organized crime and the
murder of Chicago investigator William J. Drury in the 1950s, plus later newsclippings
on Allen Dorfman; files on the failure of the Tucker automobile manufacturing
company, in which Kutner was an investor; files on the defense of Dr. Sam Sheppard,
in collaboration with his lawyer F. Lee Bailey; lawsuits against the harsh
policies of Warden Joseph E. Ragen of Joliet penitentiary; writings on psychologist
William Alanson White's theories on violence and their applicability to international
conflict; and Kutner's elaboration of the concept of world habeas corpus and efforts
to use it in defense of persons imprisoned in foreign countries and to resolve
international conflicts through tribunals rather than war.
Additional materials
include files on Kutner's work with Julius Klein to defend Thomas Dodd of
Connecticut when he was censured by the U.S. Senate; Kutner's legal
representation of Ellen Borden Stevenson, ex-wife of Adlai Stevenson II; Kutner's
promotion of jojoba oil as a substitute for whale oil; lawsuits against makers
of The Sting (motion picture) and in support of author William T. Brannon for
his writings on Yellow Kid Weil's scams as a con man; legal wrangling over the
Neo-Nazi march in Skokie (Ill.) in the 1970s; promotion of the Senior Citizens
Crime Commission, Kutner's anti-crime organization for the protection of older
people; Kutner's support for and then opposition to Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne; Kutner's
company Bardian House Publishers and Kutner's other projects to publish his own
works, such as The Trialle of William Shakespeare, a play, and works by other
authors; and files on Mother's Remedies Corporation, an old patent medicine
company that Kutner owned briefly before it closed.
Description of
some material related to the collection:
Related
materials at Chicago History Museum, Research Center, include visual items

videocassettes on "The Dionne Years," which was a BBC production
about the commercial promotion of the Dionne quintuplets in the 1930s, in which
Kutner was involved; and about a dozen photographs, including one of Kutner
with a number of other men and one of a movie being shot outside Riccardo's
Restaurant, 437 N. Rush, Chicago. This material is closed until processed.
There also are poetry and non-fiction writings by Kutner cataloged separately.

Detailed
description of archival series in the collection:
Series 1. Biographical files, 1926-1981 (box
1-10 & audio)
Series 1 documents
broadly the spectrum of Luis Kutner's interests and activities, from the rights
of the fetus to the rights of the aged, from the criminal to the sublime, and
from the depths of the sea to outer space.
It is divided into
three subseries, each arranged alphabetically and defined by the types of
materials it contains:
Subseries 1.
Correspondence and newsclippings, 1926-1981
Subseries 2. Topical
correspondence and newsclippings, 1947-1980
Subseries 3. Audio recordings,
1961-1980
Subseries 1.
Correspondence and newsclippings, 1926-1981, contains biographical materials
such as vitas, newsclippings, and articles specifically about Luis Kutner and
his family. Five clippings scrapbooks cover Kutner's career and life from 1928
to 1970. Information about other generations of Kutners is found in the
Beatrice Kutner file, a non-relative researching Kutner genealogy; the Paul
Kutner file, which contains the will and union dues books of Luis Kutner's
father; and the Rima Kutner file, which documents his daughter's aspirations as
an actress and model.
Subseries 2, Topical
correspondence and newsclippings, 1947-1980, represents a diverse group of
correspondence and newsclippings files, arranged alphabetically by title. It
touches on the full range of Kutner's involvements, from politics to poetry. The
largest body of materials on a single topic pertains to the Senior Citizens
Crime Commission (box 5-9), which consists mainly of appeals to foundations and
to prominent individuals for donations to implement Kutner's vision of the SCCC
as an effective organization to protect the elderly from violent crime.
As head of the SCCC,
Kutner was appointed by Jane M. Byrne to her transition team when she was
elected Mayor of Chicago in 1979 (box 7-8). Kutner quickly became disenchanted
with Byrne and resigned from her administration. His version of the experience
is presented in a manuscript entitled "Blunderbuss, or The Duchess of
Deception (Chicago's Heart Byrne)" (in box 16). More anti-Byrne material
is in the Coalition to Save Chicago file in box 3.
A second major body
of materials consists of scrapbooks of newsclippings related to organized crime
in Chicago and to the Chicago hearings of the Kefauver Crime Committee,
officially entitled the Senate Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime
in Interstate Commerce, conducted by Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee in
1950-1951. scrapbook 7, "Frank Costello," scrapbook 8, "Crime
Clippings, 1947-50," and scrapbooks 9-15, "Kefauver Crime Committee,
1950-54" provide information on the background and impact of the Kefauver
Committee hearings in Chicago. (See also scrapbooks 20-21, on the William
Drury, murdered investigator).
Also of interest in
Subseries 2 are files dating from the 1930s (box 10) on the William Alanson
White Foundation's Chicago support group, the Human Relations Association of
Chicago. Luis Kutner served as finance counsel for this group, which sought to
disseminate the psychological theories of White, who had been the
superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the federal hospital for the
mentally ill in Washington, D.C. White believed that psychological
understanding could be applied beyond the clinic to control unconscious
aggressive and destructive tendencies in political and industrial relations; he
emphasized interpersonal relations as a discipline which could prevent social
conflict and even war.
Subseries 3. Audio recordings,
1961-1980, consists of 19 reel and cassette sound recordings, chiefly of Kutner's
appearances on radio broadcasts in Chicago in the 1960s. Also present are
Mobius Production audition tapes for patriotic programs conceived by Kutner in
the late 1970s.
Series 2. Business files, 1949-1980 (box
10-20)
Series 2 consists of
files containing correspondence and some background materials related to
various business ventures in which Kutner was involved. The largest groups of
files relate to publishing: 1. Kutner's own company, Bardian House Publishers,
1973-1978 (box 10-12); and 2. Kutner's non-Bardian House publishing projects (box
16-20), consisting mainly of his attempts to find publishers for manuscripts
written by himself and others.
Series 2. also
contains the records of the Mother's Remedies Corporation, a Chicago-based
direct mail patent medicine firm whose history dates from before World War I (box
14-15). Kutner acquired ownership of the firm in the 1950s and operated it for
a few years before dissolving it.
Of special interest
among the correspondence is the Neil Elliott file (box 17), in which Kutner is
at his most candid. Also noteworthy is the Sir Laurence Olivier letter (box 19),
a charming exception to the usually polite and perfunctory letters Kutner
received from the celebrities whom he tried to enlist in behalf of his causes
and projects.
Series 3. Client and case files, 1928-1980 (box
20-45)
Series 3. contains a
few briefs and other legal documents, but consists mainly of correspondence and
clippings related to legal cases in which Kutner was either an attorney or a
litigant. The files are arranged in alphabetical order and represent a number
of fascinating cases.
In 1957 Kutner represented
the plaintiffs in Greene vs. the Art Institute of Chicago, a suit concerning
the administration of the Ferguson Fund for public sculpture. The Art
Institute, as trustee of the fund, had applied its revenues to the construction
of an addition to its own building (box 21).
In 1966 and 1967
Kutner offered legal advice to U.S. Senator Thomas J. Dodd (Connecticut) in his
battle to defend himself from accusations raised by former staff members that
he had misused campaign contributions. Dodd was censured by the Senate in 1967.
He and Kutner subsequently had a falling out after Kutner sent him a bill for
legal services (box 26-30). Of special interest is correspondence and related
materials on the role of General Julius Klein in the Dodd case (box 27-28).
In the late 1970s,
Kutner represented the Jewish War Veterans in their attempt to prevent the
American Nazi Party from marching in the Chicago suburb of Skokie, which had a
large Jewish population (box 33-38). The materials consist mainly of court transcripts,
newsclippings, and other background information.
Luis Kutner was
rightfully proud of his role in freeing James Montgomery, a black man falsely
accused in 1923 of raping a white woman in Waukegan, Lake County, Illinois,
after Montgomery had served 26 years in prison (box 40-41). Background
materials for the Montgomery case include information on the power and
influence of the Ku Klux Klan in Waukegan in the 1920s.
In the early 1960s,
Kutner was also involved as a legal advisor in the effort to gain the release
from prison of Dr. Sam Sheppard, a Cleveland, Ohio, osteopath convicted of
murdering his pregnant wife in 1954. The file contains correspondence from
Sheppard's attorney, F. Lee Bailey. When Bailey won Sheppard's acquittal in a
retrial of his case in 1966, Bailey established his reputation as one of the
country's foremost trial lawyers.
Kutner served as an
unpaid legal advisor to Adlai E. Stevenson II's divorced wife, Ellen Borden
Stevenson, in the 1960s during an attempt by her three sons and her mother to
have Mrs. Stevenson declared incompetent to manage her own affairs (box 43-44).
Kutner was one of
the original litigants against Preston T. Tucker, designer of a rear-engine
automobile in the late 1940s. Despite extensive promotion and the franchising
of dealerships, only a few Tucker automobiles were manufactured and delivered
to dealers and customers. Tucker, after being found innocent of intent to
defraud, counter sued Kutner for malicious prosecution (box 44 and scrapbooks
25-27).
Other interesting
cases concern: the credit policies of Sears, Roebuck and Co., which in the
1960s issued unsolicited credit cards without explaining the terms under which
they were to be used (box 42); the suit brought by writer William T. Brannon
against the stars (including Paul Newman and Robert Redford) and producers of a
movie, "The Sting," whom he accused of plagiarizing his magazine
article and other writings on "Yellow Kid" Weil (box 22-25); and the
suit of Bruno Austin, prisoner, against Joseph Ragen, State Superintendent of
Prisons and Warden of the Illinois State Penitentiary at Joliet, relative to
conditions in the penitentiary (box 22, scrapbook 18).
Series 4. Writings (box 45-66)
Series 4 contains
published and unpublished manuscripts, arranged alphabetically by title, from
Luis Kutner's prolific pen. The manuscripts are divided into non-fiction
(subseries 1) and fiction (subseries 2). The non-fiction writings are mainly on
subjects--such as legal history, civil liberties, and undersea and extra-terrestrial
law--related to Kutner's concept of "creative" law, i.e., law as a
pioneering and socially innovative activity. Some of his legal historical
writings include: "Aristotle, Aquinas and Kant on Human Rights," "Abraham
Lincoln--Almost Impeached," and "Geoffrey Chaucer, Law-Giver." Many
of Kutner's writings were related to issues of the day, such as the student
rebellions of the late 1960s and early 1970s, the debate over women's rights
and abortion in the 1970s, the movements to impeach President Nixon in 1973-74
and Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas in 1970.
Some of Kutner's
legal writing are in manuscript, but many, perhaps most, of these writings were
published in various law school reviews. Offprints of articles not listed
individually are filed by title under miscellaneous categories for some letters
of the alphabet and for World Habeas Corpus.
Although Kutner's
World Habeas Corpus files (approximately 47 linear ft.) were transferred from
the Chicago Historical Society to the Hoover Institute on War, Revolution, and
Peace in Palo Alto, California, in 1982, the collection remaining at Chicago
Historical Society/Chicago History Museum contains many references to world
habeas corpus, the Commission for the International Due Process of Law, and
related activities. This material is found in the topical correspondence files,
series 2; in a world habeas corpus information folder (box 10), and in Kutner's
numerous writings on the topic (box 45-48).
Subseries 2. Fiction
is arranged alphabetically by title and includes novels, screenplays, songs and
musical comedies, poetry, newspaper advice columns, published under a variety
of pseudonyms, which he believed were necessary in order to protect his
reputation as an attorney. Some of his pseudonyms include Tony Raymond,
Flavius, Alycia Conquest, Cellini, Allen Crane, and Guy Strong.
The line between his
fiction and his non-fiction works is not easily drawn. For example, "The
Duster" is a fictionalized version of "My Life with Capone." In "Madame
Mayor," and "Madame President," which he wrote in the 1930s,
Kutner claimed to be an early prophet and advocate of the rise of women to high
elective office in the United States, though in "The Virtuous Tyrant,"
a psychological play about Indira Gandhi, and in his essay on Jane Byrne, "Blunderbuss,
or The Duchess of Deception (Chicago's Heart Byrne)," he was highly
critical of the ruthless exercise of political power by women.
