His criminal career involved robbery and train robbery cattle rustling looting gambling houses pickpocketing and grand larceny spending time in prisons and penitentiaries across the country. "Goode has recorded a great amount of detail about experiences in prison cells -- the long nights the childish pranks prisoners play to relieve the tedium and the devious and limitless ways in which life is made more uncomfortable" SUVAK 128. Includes commentary on his experiences doing time at the Ohio Penitentiary City Prison of Manhattan and Sing Sing Prison. Goode was encouraged "to put his story into some form of written order" by his friend publisher Rae D. Henkle who in his prefatory note describes him as having "a gentle kindly smile that reflected a gentle kindly spirit: a man who had been helped out of his particular hell and who wanted with all his heart to help other men." Goode died shortly prior to publication of his memoir. Scarce in dustjacket; OCLC notes about two dozen holdings but most appear to be in circulating collections. Rae D. Henkle, Publisher unknown

1857List2022Washington 1857. Autograph letter measuring 8 x 5 inches bifolium with free franked stampless cover. Fine condition. Fine. An interesting letter written by James W. Denver written while he was serving as Commissioner of Indian Affairs describing crime on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1857. He writes:<br /> “We have great times on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. For a long time past merchandise has been lost along the line by being thrown out of the cars while under way some of the confederates being ready to pitch them up and sell them. To put a stop to this the Directors ordered the cars when loaded to be sealed up and not to be opened until they should arrive at the place of destination. The conductors took offense and said that this was a reflection on them quit the trains and would not let anybody else take their places. In order to prevent this they attacked the trains passing Ellicott’s Mills and succeeded in turning back all but one. Today it was rumored that the Plug Uglies had possession of the track between Baltimore and the Relay House but this is hardly so as a train has I am told arrived here this evening. This is a very extraordinary affair as it is in fact an effort to give greater license to stealing and from the way they have acted there is not much doubt but the conductors were engaged in the plundering.â€<br /> The Plug Uglies first operated in Baltimore beginning in 1854. Several iterations of the Nativist gang eventually formed all of which were referred to by the same name. They would be involved a month later in the Know Nothing Riot in Washington D.C. in June of 1857 the same month that Denver would gain his appointment as Secretary of Kansas Territory. <br /> <br /> <br /> Full text follows:<br /> <br /> My Dear Wife<br /> The cheerful tone of your letter of the 28th ult. pleases me very much. I hope and trust that will be ever thus. A light heart and cheerful disposition makes life a perennial springtime. There is nothing like it. Keep up your sprits ever thus and besides being the pride of my life you will be my light also—the polar star of my existence.<br /> <br /> O Lou! how lonely I feel here at times without you! Were we only together how much more pleasantly would the time pass away. Still I have no great reason to complain of fortune but ought rather to be thankful for the great boon she has vouchsafed to me in making you mine for life. To know this it is easy to imagine a good angel always hovering near me giving warning of besetting dangers and urging me on to greater usefulness and then to dream of the bright approving smiles of her I love so well. And though distant I doubt not but they are as sweet and as kind as though present and palpable to my vision. Well well what must be I suppose must be and we must grin and bear it; but I wish you were here and not the subject of mere dreams and imaginings.<br /> <br /> We have great times on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.

The New York Times in its 1931 review noted with some pique that Coe's antihero seemed ".an incredibly dull-witted gunman.who moves rather absurdly through the web of murder graft and corruption that makes the background for the novel." Coe a former boxer and federal agent specialized in works that brought to life the criminal underworld with which he was long familiar and his work is unusual in that while it was clearly designed to appeal to the growing audience for lurid hard-boiled crime it kept one foot firmly planted in the realm of social fiction. There are only a few novelists of the period whose work is equally likely to be cited in Hubin's Bibliography of Crime Fiction this title cited on p.88 as in Archibald Hanna's bibliography of American social fiction A Mirror for the Nation no. 728.

195025986Milwaukee WI: Tee-Pee-Gee Company n.d. but ca.1950. Board game consisting of one 1 game board 21.5" x 22" set of two 2 red acrylic dice 41 round and square painted wood pieces in black white green red yellow blue and brown one black piece replaced 17 game cards 2.25" x 3.75" printed on rectos only and original instruction manual 6" x 4". Dice game pieces and cards housed in the original manufacturers two-piece box. Game board is hinged with linen lightly worn at extremities with some occasional board exposure; instruction manual is browned overall folded in half with some splitting along spine fold and holographic notes to front and rear wrappers. Box for entire game not present though it is unclear whether or not one was issued. Presumed complete. "The fascination of this game lies in the variety of ways chances and combinations in which it can be played. For instance - a player may decide to play all the men on the straight and narrow path to freedom by being pardoned or take a shorter but more risky method as a fugitive. The trials of fate and temptation may enter at any time and upset all plans. This novel game which may be played by two to six players illustrates the separation of prisoners from the outside world and their discipline and reformation. It is a game of chance and skill and the possibility of your opponents' chance to win depends upon where and how you make your moves. It will hold you spellbound from beginning to end" - opening statement from instruction booklet.<br/><br/>A prison-themed board game with a phantom manufacturer; our research has failed to reveal much information about either one though in theory and objective it bears remarkable similarities to the much later ca.1990's board game The Slammer produced by Ruppert Games. Tee-Pee-Gee can be played by up to six players and while it appears fairly easy at first glance the dynamics are quite complicated with game pieces representing inmates messengers guards and visitors. The possibility for numerous moves exists dictated by the roll of the dice cards chosen and each players respective positioning on the board. Prisoners can be released or can choose to escape with or without the help of visitors. The winner of the game is the player with all their prisoners outside the walls either as "pardoned" or "fugitives" and their visitors "in good standing" with the prison officials.

192125752Boston: Roxburgh Publishing Company 1921. First Edition. Octavo. Blue cloth boards lettered in gilt on spine and front cover; 258pp. Slightly shaken; spine gilt dulled legible with difficulty; internally clean tight and unmarked. A solidly VG copy lacking the presumed dustwrapper. Extremely uncommon survey of vice and crime in the Windy City presented as an exercise in "psychopathology" but written in a flat hard-boiled style by the enigmatic "Prince Immanuel of Jerusalem" whose true identity is shrouded in mystery. This pseudonym turns up in a number of unexpected locations: as a steerage immigrant to California in 1909 where he is described as "the son of the Sultan of Turkey and an Arabian Jewess" and is apparently seeking to raise funds for the construction of a "Universal University" on the site of King Solomon's Temple see The Lompoc California Journal for Jan 3 1909; as the headmaster of an institution called the "University College of Africa" in Cairo Egypt ca. 1917 see Hill The Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Papers v.11 p.769n; and as the creator of an invented language "Universal" ca. 1914 see Okrent In the Land of Invented Languages p.296. In the first two sources he is identified as "I.E. Goldreich" and "Eleasar Isaac Goldreich" respectively and he appears to have been a one-time British citizen. He was responsible for at least two other published works: Postcards of Palestine Cairo ca 1912 and Chaos: Written for the Illiterati Columbia City IN: 1947.

184119189Boston: Published by S. G. Simpkins 1841. First edition. Some trifling wear and soiling; a fine copy. 16mo original blind-stamped diaper grain blue cloth gilt lettering 48 pages. No man of ordinary observation can pass through the streets of New York or Philadelphia without meeting numerous living witnesses of the misery which exists in both of those cities and especially in the former. Enough can be seen in Boston to make any benevolent heart ache daily for suffering humanity. But still the amount is less in proportion to population than in either of the other two cities. Through the influence of better laws for education intellectual culture the best preservative from vice and crime is more generally diffused in Boston than in Philadelphia; and from its geographical position Boston is not like New York the common resort of the squalid poverty that seeks refuge on our shores from Europe." A fairly nuanced sociological criminal and economic argument for temperance among the laboring classes pointing to the savings in cost of drinks and to the economic advantages of sober fathers; additional aspersions are cast as well on adulteration of wines and liquors. Originally published as a series in Boston Daily Times here collected and published with a prefatory Advertisement dated May 1841 and signed by a committee of Boston advocates of temperance. Includes an appendix of collected statistics on inmates at the jails and house of correction juvenile crime insane asylum numbers etc. OCLC 6/2019 notes two locations. Published by S. G.

But still sound. 127pp. <br/><br/>A detailed account of the great Ohio Penitentiary fire of 1930 published within the year of the April 21 blaze the deadliest prison fire in American history which killed 322 inmates. Written by Cleveland newspaper reporters Dan W. Gallagher and T.J. Thomas the book provides a comprehensive portrait of the state of the prison during 1930 concentrated on its miserable conditions which the authors compare to Medieval torture chambers and 19th Century prison ships and severe overcrowding. According to the text at the time of the fire more than 5000 prisoners were kept in a facility originally designed to house about 1500. SPOTLIGHT indicts the prison's guards and administration notably a Captain John Hall head guard on duty who refused to unlock the cell block where most deaths occurred. The text is illustrated throughout with 22 photograph reproductions most being of the fire’s aftermath many with African-American prisoners figuring prominently and Thomas and Gallagher appear to have extensively interviewed prisoners for the book. Novelist Chester Himes was incarcerated in the penitentiary where his writing career began during the fire and he wrote about in his breakout article “To What Red Hell” which appeared in Esquire in 1934. Rather poorly produced and likely intended for regional distribution only SPOTLIGHT appears genuinely scarce. OCLC notes 7 holdings only 2 of those outside of Ohio.

Single sheet printed on one side only (214 x 135 mm), printed black on white fragile paper, mounted on card, soiled and creased. From the London Times, February 25, 1828, page 3, Column 1 : "It is this week our painful duty to record one of the most cold-blooded murders that ever darkened the annals of crime, a deed which has spread a wider gloom and deeper horror than any event which has occurred in this neighbourhood within the remembrances of the eldest inhabitants." John Dyon was the second son of a wealthy landowner in Yorkshire, England near Doncaster. He lived a hard working, respectable and quiet life. He married the lovely Betty Conway and together they had 3 daughters, Elizabeth (from whom we descend), Mary and Matilda. Working closely with his father, he often gained favors and gifts from the older man. In 1826 and 1827 alone, it is recorded that he received 63 acres of land and 300 pounds sterling. His older brother, William also received many gifts from their father as a young man, but the money was mostly squandered and drunk, and eventually the gifts stopped coming. So William struggled and John thrived? and William stewed, and his resentment grew. William frequently ranted of his anger to his son, John, poisoning the younger man's mind against his uncle. On Saturday, the 16th of February, 1828, John Dyon attended the market in Doncaster (12 miles away) with a couple of friends as was his custom. On his return home that evening, when he dismounted his horse to open the gate to his property, he was assaulted, shot, and left for dead. His wife, concerned when he didn't arrive home at the time he should, sent a servant to look for him. The servant found John's horse standing near the gate, but did not see John lying a few feet away. They found him in the morning lying where he had bled out. Mr. E. B. Denison, Esq. and the local constable rode out from Doncaster immediately upon receiving the news Sunday morning and began their investigation. Mr. Denison, a student of the new forensic sciences, was pleased to find the murder scene offered an abundance of clues. It had rained on Saturday and the ground was quite moist, then the temperature dropped below freezing overnight, capturing the escape route of the assailants. Mr. Denison observed that there were two attackers; one smaller and lighter than the other. He noted that these persons were relatively wealthy because they possessed a pair boots with both a right and left foot. He also noted that the larger footprints had a distinctive toe-out gait. An inquest was called by the coroner. After the presentation of evidence, the jury delivered a verdict of "Willful murder by person or persons unknown". Many in the area knew of the ill will that William Dyon and his son held for William's brother, John Dyon. By Thursday of the following week, both were arrested. They provided alibis, insisting that they had been nowhere near the scene of the crime. The magistrate felt he had to let them go. After his release by the authorities, William went to a pub in Gainesborough, and bragged there that he had "humbugged" the local magistrate, apparently disclosing further details of the crime. His brags were soon brought to the attention of Mr. Denison and additional inquiries were made. A farmer who had previously worked for William, but was now in John's employ, admitted that he knew of William and young John's plan to kill John Dyon. He also said that he had hidden the gun at his home for a week prior to the murder, and that William had bribed him and threatened him to keep quiet about the plan. Soon, William and his son, John were arrested. The constable searched their homes and found the boots, a pair having both right and left feet, and the gun. During the trial, the farmer, John White, testified to everything he knew, including the fact that William had showed up the evening of the killing to pick up his gun. Several witnesses came forward to testify to the ill will that William and his son bore for the deceased. They also testified that William had a distinctive gait, walking with his toes pointed outward. William Dyon and John, his son, were hanged for their crime on April 4, 1828. William staunchly declared his innocence throughout, but his son confessed to all as they placed the noose around his neck. No other copy located.

12mo (150 x 85 mm) 37, [1]pp., several leaves mounted on stubs, new boards. Henry Sanderson, Adam Adie and Robert Bamford, were for murder, on Friday, March 22, 1822. Sanderson was out shooting pheasants, when he was apprehended by William Carr, gamekeeper to Sir Thomas Wollaston White. While wrestling with the gun Carr was shot, but he lived just long enough to identify his assailant. Adie and Bamford underwent the penalty of the law for the murder of John Timms, aged 17. The three, along with William Knight, were out on the town, after they decided to go poaching but only just got passed Trent Bridge before it began to rain. They then abandoned their plan and went to the Three Horse Shoes public house. Here they argued who was to pay for the drink consumed, Timms, having treated them all in the afternoon, refused to pay more than his share. On the way home the three robbed Timms of his watch and three shillings in silver. Knight then knocked him down, and Adie threw him over the battlements of the bridge into the river Trent. Adie and Bamford were executed after Bamford confessed, but Knight could not be identified, and was consequently acquitted. NOT found on JISC or OCLC.
