19112021Chicago: Pinkerton's National Detective Agency 1911. Very Good. 11" x 8-1/2". Circular printed recto only. White stock printed in black b&w illustration. Three holes punched to upper portion of leaf slightly affecting text; old folds. Wanted circular for Edward J. Tierney who according to a contemporary newspaper account "is the 'classiest' looking of all the criminals that the police have been asked to look out for" Bridgeport Times and Evening Farmer Feb. 23 1911. Wearing a dress coat in the photo provided for the circular Tierney worked as a traffic clerk for the Western Electric Company in Dallas before disappearing in November 1910. The reader is warned that he "might be found in the Shipping or Traffic Department of some electrical concern or railway office and he may also endeavor to obtain a position as a chauffeur or at some Vaudeville House or Moving Picture Show as he is a competent chauffer and a good singer as well." Oddly the 28-year-old Tierney is never implicated in a crime here nor does an initial review of contemporary newspapers reveal that he was ever charged with one much less convicted.

12930Autograph Letter Signed: From Exeter but on his letterhead 8E Hyde Park Mansions NW1 London; 14 May 1930. Typed Note: On his letterhead The Tanyard Shorne near Gravesend; 26 August 1945. Both items in poor condition with burn marks and damp damage fire damaged much of the Society's archive. Some of the text of the autograph letter has faded and it may be that the signature to the typed note has washed away. Autograph Letter Signed: 2pp. 4to. He begins by offering to 'oppose anybody' in a debate that Mrs Roscoe is organising at the Society of Women Journalists. 'But you should bear in mind that the Crime Club is a purely commercial affair - run entirely by Messrs Collins the publishers of 48 Pall Mall - and I gather very privately that writers of detective stories & rival publishers are not exactly welcoming its appearance. Perhaps under the circumstances it would not be politic to have anything to do with it. For your own information Sir Godfrey Collins is its onlie begetter and I believe that the Headmaster of Eton Dr Abington is "reading" for him.' He suggests two 'good people' whom Mrs Roscoe might invite: J. J. Connington 'Victor Gollancz can put you in touch with him' and M. R. K. Burge 'writes excellent thrillers under the name of Milford Kennedy'. Straus concludes: 'If you should find somebody more violently opposed to thrillers than myself don't hesitate to let him or her 'open' the opposition & I will speak afterwards - but I am certainly at your disposal'. Typed Note: 1p. 4to. He is 'happy and honoured' to be a guest of her 'Society' on 11 October 1945. 'Is there any particular aspect of fiction or biography you would like me to speak about Or just an informal ramble about anything that comes into my head I will do whatever you say.'
