"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 .

191575540London: Hugh Rees 1915. First edition Octavo. xiv 139 1 printer's slug 2 publisher's ads pp. plus 33 full page photographic illustrations. Publisher's red cloth with git spine lettering. Very minor extremity e=wear. A very clean and attractive copy."Human Leopards is the name given to a criminal society whose members band together to commit murder to obtain human body parts fat and blood for the creation of a medicine Borfima thought to imbue its possessors with supernatural powers guaranteeing success in their undertakings. It was alleged that the society members concealed themselves in leopard skins and used a special three pronged knife when killing their selected victims so that the deaths would be blamed on leopards. They were also said to practise cannibalism. There were repeated reports of human leopard activity in Sherbro and Mende chiefdoms in Bonthe district in the 1890s and 1900s and the Colonial Government passed ordinances outlawing membership of this and similar societies such as Human Alligator and Human Baboon societies and set up special circuit courts to deal with offenders. A number of individuals were subsequently tried and found guilty of being involved in human leopard murders some of whom confessed to their crimes; but as with witchcraft trials in Europe it is not easy to separate the reality behind the human leopard reports from the moral panic they aroused."
