Perdue's letter is lightly creased around the edges and has been folded three times for mailing. There are 2 staples in the top left corner where the envelope & carbon copy have been attached to Perdue's letter. Very good. <p>Perdue is replying to a letter of encouragement and support from Freudian psychiatrist and criminologist Dr. Arthur N. Foxe who writes: "I have been mindful of your use of the concept of Criminosis psychoneurotic behavior taking the form of criminal or antisocial actsand I have read your article with attention and interest." Foxe knows the concept to be valid from his own experiences and struggles at Great Meadow maximum security prison in the thirties. Perdue replies:"I am deeply honored to have gotten your letter.I have been in the Field of Criminology for only 15 years at this one Penitentiary and it is certainly an honor to have one of the "Criminology Greats" extend a verbal pat-on-the-back as well as encouragment.in a Field of Work still filled with 'amused skepticism' mentioned by you in your recent article."<p>Perdue's thesis was titled "A comparison of the Rorschach responses ot two groups of murderers confined in prison". Among his published articles co-authored with David Lester are "Those who murder kin: a Rorschach study" and "Movement responses of Murderers to Roschach stimuli".

The caption reads: "Mr. Justice Precedent wearing his famous wig composed entirely of split hairs and adorned with the ceremonial crimson tape." The caption refers to the protracted nature of the Becker-Rosenthal Murder case which began on October 7 1912 restarted on May 2 1914 and finally concluded after a series of procedural events in 1915. The case involved a group of corrupt police offices led by Charles Becker who ran a protection racket on illegal casinos. Becker hired gangsters to kill a casino owner and rival gangster who was threatening to expose the racket. A breathtaking example of police corruption the investigation and trial was front-page news in New York for months. In the end Becker was sent to the electric chair at Sing Sing. This was the first time a police officer received the death penalty. The case lived on for several years in the popular imagination; it is mentioned for example in The Great Gatsby 1925.

A native of Nova Scotia he studied art in Boston and completed his training in Paris at the Academie Colarossi and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts both in Paris.

Several minor scuffs and nicks to frame. An exceptional unique piece of original artwork capturing a defining moment in American legal and criminal history. $3500. This striking original gouache was created to illustrate "Leaden Footed Justice in New York State" a feature article published in the Special Feature section of the New York Tribune on Sunday March 1 1914. The penciled caption reads:"Mr. Justice Precedent wearing his famous wig composed entirely of split hairs and adorned with the ceremonial crimson tape." The caricature was a scathing commentary on the notoriously protracted bureaucratically tangled legal proceedings of the Becker-Rosenthal Murder case which centered on NYPD Police Lieutenant Charles Becker who ran a massive protection racket targeting illegal Manhattan casinos. When gambling house owner Herman Rosenthal threatened to expose Becker's corruption to District Attorney Charles S. Whitman Becker hired a gang of underworld executioners including "Gyp the Blood" and "Lefty Louie" to gun Rosenthal down outside the Hotel Metropole. The investigation and subsequent trials completely dominated New York front pages. Becker's first trial began on October 7 1912 resulting in a conviction that was subsequently overturned on appeal by the New York Court of Appeals due to judicial bias. His highly anticipated second trial began on May 6 1914 just over two months after this cartoon appeared. Becker was convicted a second time and after his appeals were exhausted in 1915 went to the electric chair at Sing Sing-marking the first time in U.S. history a police officer was executed for murder. The case profoundly shook the public psyche and entered the cultural lexicon most. unknown
