Hemendranath Das Gupta: “The regular trial of the famous Alipore Bomb Conspiracy Case began on the 19th of October 1908, before Mr Beachcroft, Additional Sessions Judge of Alipore. The prosecution was conducted by the famous lawyer, Mr Eardley Norton, while Shri Aurobindo was at first defended by Messrs Byomkesh Chakraborty & K.N. Chowdhury. Shri Aurobindo had voluntarily embraced poverty, & public subscriptions were raised for his defence. The amount however was soon spent & a time came when there was no one except Chittaranjan left to defend him.” [Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das, Govt. of India, 1977]
