  Henry Wade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Menasco Wade (November 11, 1914—March 1, 2001), was a Texas lawyer who participated in two of the most notable US court cases of the 20th century, the prosecution of Jack Ruby for killing Lee Harvey Oswald and the US Supreme Court's decision legalizing abortion, Roe v.
Wade, one of eleven children, was born in Rockwall County, Texas, outside Dallas.
Wade asserted that Johnson essentially ordered him to "charge Oswald with plain murder." In point of fact, that was actually the only available option, because in 1963 there was no federal law concerning assassination of the president: technically, the JFK assassination was a conventional murder case over which only Dallas County held jurisdiction.

 [No title]
THE FACTUAL BACKGROUND When this case was tried (June 1981), it was defended by the Attorney General of the State of Texas; by Henry Wade, the District Attorney of Dallas County; and by Lee Holt, the City Attorney of Dallas.
Wade and Holt had been certified as representatives of a defendant class consisting of "all district, county and city attorneys in the State of Texas responsible for the enforcement of Texas Penal Code Ann.
Accordingly, no showing has been made that the attorneys for the class representatives (District Attorney Wade, City Attorney Holt) were not aware of the proposed "AIDS evidence" before June of 1981, and that they simply elected not to present it as a matter of trial strategy.

 Policeman's Lot: The Detective Fiction of Henry Wade
Wade can always be trusted to produce a workmanlike tale, and here he preserves that admirable balance between the genuine interest aroused by his characters and the lure of his jigsaw puzzle which he showed in (never had author less reason so to warn his publisher!)
It is a great pity that Henry Wade should be lumped with the humdrum journeyman Freeman Wills Crofts, for there is very little of the humdrum about him.
His strengths are more than good detection, however, for his characterisation is superb, allowing him to step inside his characters’ heads and to depict grief, jealousy, loveless marriages and intense guilt with the touch of a novelist.
