"Having built the reputation of his New York papers on battling the power of the corrupt political machine known as Tammany Hall it was only natural that when two Tammany-backed stock swindlers went on trial in New York the Hearst papers took a serious interest in the outcome. After the defendants Fuller and McGee were acquitted in spite of what was generally considered overwhelming evidence of guilt Hearst unleashed his attack dogs. In full spare-no-expense style the mode in which Hearst was at his most dangerous as a journalist the editor of the New York American Victor Watson ordered the papers top investigative reporter Nat Ferber to get to the bottom of the case. Ferber found exactly what Hearst had hoped for: one Eddie Eidlitz a former associate of the defense lawyer William J. Fallon who had won acquittal for the Tammany swindlers. Eidlitz was willing to testify that Fallon had participated in corrupting the jury. Thus began the sensational front-page prosecution of William Fallon." This book covers a number of the famous cases journalist Nat Ferber covered over the years including the Seabury Inquiry the E. M. Fuller and Co. Bankruptcy trial Racketeer Arnold Rothstein the Brain and more. Ferber was an investigative journalist dealing with many of the most famous criminal enterprises of his day. ; Signed by Author .

From a review: "From about 1960 on the first-person account of Ray Flynn's life in the mob is well worth the price of admission The publication is not worth the high price of admission neither is the writing. But then again Ray Flynn was not a professional writer so he should be cut some slack on that aspect of the book." From a different reviewer: "I have been searching and searching for years on the murder of my grandfather at the "hands" or at the "hit" of Buster Wortman. 53 years later after many hours of speaking to lots of people I have tracked down and numerous hours on the internet I see my grandfathers name in this book. It brought tears seeing this. Today I'm still in shock over it. I did enjoy the book otherwise.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Michael J. Flynn. First Edition so stated. Softcover. Good condition.
