Philadelphia 1874. Together 4 items. Together 4 items. The Kidnapping of Little Charley Ross. Four items relating to the abduction of Charley Brewster Ross the first instance of kidnapping for ransom in the United States. On July 1 1874 four-year-old Charley was abducted from the sidewalk in front of his father's house in Germantown Pennsylvania by two men in a buggy offering the promise of candy and fireworks. Soon after Charlie's father received a note demanding $20000 for the safe return of his son. Mr. Ross went to the police the case caught the attention of the press and soon it became a national sensation. A group of prominent Philadelphians raised money to hire the Pinkerton Agency who produced and widely disseminated reward posters and handbills. <br/>Of the two examples offered here the first is a three page leaflet with a mounted photographic portrait of the boy at the top in which a $20000 reward is offered for the safe return of the child detailed circumstances of the kidnapping are provided as are descriptions of the child and kidnappers along with a section of "Questions for Identification." <br/>The second example is a broadside with an engraved image of the child at the top offering the reward and providing a description of Ross and the kidnappers. <br/><br/>Though several attempts to deliver the ransom were made the kidnappers never appeared; shortly after two men were killed during a burglary in Brooklyn and one of them confessed with his dying words that they were the kidnappers. His claims were ultimately determined to be credible however the boy was never found. Charley's father published his own account of the affair a copy of which is present here to raise money to continue the search which he and his wife kept up for the rest of their lives. The case left an indelible mark on the American psyche and as late as the 1930s people were still coming forward claiming to be the missing boy<br/><br/><br/>1. "Abduction of Charley Brewster Ross."

Crime. "The Inmates." ISHERWOOD Christopher Preface
PRISON ETIQUETTE: The Convict's Compendium of Useful Information
Bearsville NY: Retort Press 1950. First Edition. 8vo. Stiff printed pictorial wraps in original dustjacket. One of 2000 copies "entirely hand-set hand-bound and printed on a footpedal press by the editors." Jacket lightly rubbed with some chipping esp. to lower spine. Faint staining. Unclipped. Mild wear to yapp edge of book. Very good overall. INSCRIBED in pencil by contributor James Peck to verso of front endpaper: "Mildred - You said you wanted to read what I wrote about the jig. Well here is some of it and some of what others wrote. It gives you the feel of jailhouse sic. I think the book will interest you. I think they did a groovy job on the cover. -Jim." <br/><br/>Noted but slightly misleadingly-titled "anthology of the Prison Writings of Conscientious Objectors to World War II" front flap inscribed by one of its contributors legendary activist and pacifist James Peck. Peck devoted himself to nonviolent resistance and in addition to serving three years at Danbury for refusing to serve during the war he fought for decades for labor peace and civil rights and was arrested dozens of times during his life. Indeed he was a prominent figure in the 1970s prison reform movement in no small measure because of his numerous incarcerations whose earliest experiences are detailed here. Includes a lengthy jacket blurb by Aldous Huxley Bromer B75 as well as striking illustrations by Lowell Naeve. While the book is not terribly uncommon it is complete and in collectible condition. And scarce when inscribed by a contributor. An interesting inscription even almost certainly a later one given the slang. Retort Press paperback books

CRIME. DE BECK WILLIAM L.
MURDER WILL OUT. The First Step in Crime Leads to the Gallows. The Horrors of Queen City. Being an Account of the Two Soldiers Who Were Executed at Old Fort Washington and many other crimes
Cincinnati: s.n. 1867. FIRST EDITION. Softcover. Good. Original publisher's printed pale green wrappers chipped. 128 pp. 8vo. 8-1/4" x 5-1/2". Some general wear & soiling. A touch of foxing. Unsightly abrasion to rear wrapper resulting in some loss. "A Book for the Family" in which are described in the most graphic detail over 100 murders in Cincinnati and environs. This highly curious volume represents a genuinely early American work in the literary genre now known as "True Crime" about which see especially Mark Steltzer "True Crime: Observations on Violence and Modernism" 2007 passim. True Crime as a form of entertainment created important American pop culture icons namely the sociopaths the psychopath the mass murderer and the serial killer all of whom are represented herein. The full title adds useful information about the crimes including: "Trials and Executions of John May ; Philip Lewis colored ; John Cowan the Murderer of his Family ; Washburn and his Associates Davis and Hoover the Butchers of over 30 Persons ; Byron Cooley who killed John Rambo ; Henry Lecount ; Patrick McHugh the Murderer of his own Wife ; and a Careful History of the Hughes Murderers with a Precise Account of the Murder of John Brasher the Watchman ; the Summons Massacre ; Arrison and the Infernal Machine ; Mrs. Howard who Avenged her Own Wrongs ; Nancy Farrer the Child Poisoner ; with a Correct Detail of Over a Hundred Other Murders which have Taken Place in this City and County."

Crime. Temperance. Anonymous.
Essays on the Origin of Pauperism and Crime.
Boston: 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. Simpkins, unknown books

Crime. THOMAS TJ. T. J.
OHIO'S "BIG HOUSE" Cover Title / THE SPOTLIGHT ON OHIO'S BLACK CRIME Title Page
Cleveland OH 1930. Large 8vo. Original color pictorial wraps. Good only. Covers chipped and worn. Pages toned. 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. A rich and largely unheralded work of journalistic advocacy for prisoners’ rights. paperback books

Minneapolis Minnesota: MCP Books 2016. Fine condition ina bright and shiny Near Fine dust jacket. NO chips or tears. Illustrated with photos fingerprints mug shots letter from law enforcement agencies etc. From the publisher: "We've all seen how the criminal justice system is portrayed on TV. From NCIS and Law & Order to White Collar and Cops we re led to believe that we know how the system works. But how much do we really know about what goes on Author Robert Cromwell has actually been there behind the lines searching for truth and justice -- and finding that they are not always easily connected. Cromwell details his own story -- his work as a New Jersey police officer and NCIS agent and his twenty-two-year FBI career -- looking at some of his more interesting cases along the way and giving us the chance to see inside the day-to-day workings of an agent's life. As we read Cromwell's story we also come to understand why despite the incredible good it does the criminal justice system is not always just.". 1st ed No additional printings listed. Hardcover.

Crosbie, John S
The incredible Mrs. Chadwick: The most notorious woman of her age
Cassie Chadwick ( one of Betsy Bigley's several names) was a woman of many talents, and she used them all in an extraordinary career. She was entrepreneur, forger, clairvoyant, prostitute and society lady. The railroad worker's daughter from Eastwood, Ontario was born on a farm in 1857 and died in jail in 1907, and in between became one of the most famous women of North America. She achieved her greatest social glory as the wife of a wealthy Cleveland doctor. Her fantastic lifestyle was financed by an ever widening spiral of loans, promisory notes and forgeries drawn on banks from New York city to Oberlin, Ohio and when her financial empire collapsed the shock waves reverberated through the banking world. Some of the greatest financiers in America found themselves mentioned at Mrs. Chadwick's trial.... 240p.plates.Neat crisp copy, but a small squsre cut out from ffep, else fine Book
