John D. Voelker

}}
John D. Voelker (June 29, 1903 – March 18, 1991), better known by his pen name Robert Traver, was a noted lawyer, author and fly fisherman from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He grew up in his hometown of Ishpeming and later attended the University of Michigan Law School. His early professional career was as an attorney and county prosecutor in Marquette County. Voelker was also appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court by Governor G. Mennen Williams in 1957. He is best known as the author of the novel, ''Anatomy of a Murder'', published in 1958. The best-selling novel was turned into an Academy Award-nominated film of the same name—directed by Otto Preminger and starring James Stewart—that was released July 1, 1959. Duke Ellington wrote the music for the movie. It is critically acclaimed as one of the best trial movies of all time.
''Anatomy of a Murder'' is based on a real murder and subsequent trial that occurred in Big Bay in the early morning of July 31, 1952. Coleman A. Peterson, a lieutenant in the Army, was charged with murdering Maurice Chenoweth. The alleged motive was revenge for the rape of Peterson's wife by Chenoweth. Voelker successfully defended Peterson, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Other books by Voelker were based on other legal cases in the Upper Peninsula or his love of fly fishing for brook trout. He authored over 100 opinions during his short tenure on the Michigan Supreme Court, the most famous of which was in a case called ''People v. HIldabridle'' involving a nudist colony near Battle Creek.
==Early life and education==
Voelker was born on June 29, 1903, in Ishpeming, Michigan, the youngest of six, to George〔 and Annie (née Traver) Voelker. His father was a bar owner in Ishpeming of German ancestry. His grandparents were German immigrants who came to the mining towns of Ontonagon and Negaunee in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to establish breweries. George Voelker was born in Ontonagon in 1860 and learned to speak the Ojibwe language before English. Young John learned from his father to fly fish for brook trout, alongside his older brothers.〔 Annie Voelker was a music teacher who instilled in her son a love for the written word. Voelker spent most of his life in his hometown.〔 His mother encouraged him to pursue his education; his father was content for Voelker to follow in his footsteps as a barkeeper.〔 He attended the Northern Michigan Normal School (now Northern Michigan University) starting in 1922. He graduated with a teaching certificate in 1924,〔 and then transferred to the University of Michigan Law School. While there, he met his future wife, Grace Taylor of Oak Park, Illinois. The faculty at the University of Michigan asked him to withdraw from the school in 1927, but he cited a regulation allowing him to be reexamined. He improved his grades enough to graduate from the school in 1928 and passed the Michigan bar exam later that year.〔
