Zenger Laid Foundation For U.S. Press Freedom ZENGER IN PRISON?Arrested on ? charge of publishing libel ous material in the New York Weekly Journal. John Peter Zenger was confined in 1731 for nine months in Jail before trial.' Yet, dur ing the entire time he was imprisoued, liis paper never missed an issue and continued to attack British restriction of American civil liberties. Photo shows figures representing Zenger and his wife, Anna, who visited him regylarly in Jail, in a diorama at the Zcuger Memorial in the Sub-Treasury Building, New York City. AP Newsfeatures John Peter Zenger fought for a free press even betore the United ! Stales won its independence. An Immigrant from Germany, Zenger lanued(in the british Col ony of New York in 1710 at the age of 13. He became an apprentice to a printer and grew up a respected citizen of his community and his cnurch. During Zenger's career as a newspaper publisher, however, New York had the misfortune to be governed by one of the worst of the king's representatives, Wil liam Cosby. Greedy and autocratic, Cosby hoped to wring lrom the colonists enq|igh money to recoup the fortune he had dissipated in Europe. With full knowledge of the con sequences, Zenger Joined the op position against the governor. In one direction lay safety. In the ! other, Zenger's principles and sense [ of public duty. Zenger made his decision. The lawyer from Pennsylvania, to de first issue of his New York Week ly Journal told of a fraudulent | election perpetrated by Gov. Cos by in Westchtstq?,?-oj|n|y. Subse-, ! quent issues revealed intrigue and | corruuption in the Cosby regime. The governor ordered several is sues of the Journal burned, and his attack on Zenger culminated in the printer's arrest for sedi tious writing. Cosby thought he could insure conviction by placing his chief justice, 30-year-old James De Lancey, in charge of the pro ceedings. Zenger's friends brought in An drew Hamilton, a distinguished fend him in one of the most historic and significant trials in American jurisprudence. Hamilton rested Zenger's de fense not on legal technicalities, but on a new philosophy of government ? the same philos ophy so foreefully expressed in the Weekly Journal. Hamilton said the issues went far bryoiu. Aenger and Me colony of Men Vork. It was. he said, a matter 01 liberty ? liberty of exposing ano opposing arbitrary power by speaking and writing Me truth. Hamilton admitted Zenger had printed tho articles criticizing the governor but argued they were true. A man couid not be accuseo of libel, he said, for telling the truth. However logical this may seem today, it was airectly contra dictory to British law in Zenger s day. Despite one-sided instructions by De Lancey, the jury, im pressed by Zenger's stand against a tyrannical government, brought in a verdict of "not guilty" That trial was a landmark in the ceaseless fight lor freedom. The text of the courtroom debate was given wide circulation, helping to form the philosophy of a whole generation of colonial Americans. Hamilton had set down in un-' mistakable terms the principle of a public press free to print truth, however unpleasant that truth might be to despotic leaders. But Zenger offered something more?an average citizen's courage and jJerslstei**' lh the fatte of tyranny, and a determination to defend those individual rights without which freedom cannot flourish.
