$25.00 Reward! The Above Reward Will Be Paid for Information That Will Lead to the Arrest of the Following Described Parties: Henry Kaiser Aged 47 Years.Miss Amy Douglas Aged 14 Years caption title and part of text
Penryn Ca 1889. About very good. Broadside 9 x 6.75 inches. Trimmed unevenly corners clipped lightly tanned. Contemporary pencil notation at bottom of sheet. Broadside advertising a reward for the arrest of Henry Kaiser for the abduction of Miss Amy Douglas taken from the little town of Penryn in Placer County on Sunday June 2 1889. Kaiser is described as "aged 47 years height about 5 ft. 10 1-2 inches brown hair blue eyes brown light moustache cut square slightly stooped shouldered plays violin carried with him a violin and black satchel." Miss Douglas is described as well: "aged 14 years about 5 ft. 1 1-2 or 2 in. high large blue eyes light hair wears it in a braid and cut short in front and banged very awkward cannot read or write." The reward is offered by a J.H. Frost and a pencil note seems to indicate that he was a real estate and insurance agent. A newspaper article from the San Francisco Chronicle of June 24 1889 relates that the two eloped. Kaiser was a divorcé and the son of a well-known winemaker in the area. The two were located in Portland Oregon having unsuccessfully tried to gain a marriage license due to Amy's young age. Another article indicates that Amy fled cruelty at home her father having consented to her marrying Kaiser when she turned sixteen. In any case Kaiser was discharged from criminal prosecution having been found to have acted honorable with regards to the girl. An interesting story and the broadside is unrecorded. unknown books

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."

Cestonaro's body was cut up and the various parts dumped in the Venice canals. The murderers were hanged and Fantini was fittingly drawn and quartered. The story has passed into Venetian legend - William Dean Howells recounts it in Venetian Life as one of the three quintessential Venetian tragic legends that every gondolier has at the ready to recount.

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

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

Fuller Jean Overton
Déricourt: The Chequered Spy
<p>First Edition First Printing. </p><p>Small Quarto 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches; 240 x 160 mm viii 407 1 pages in publisher's original blue cloth in a photo-illustrated dust jacket.</p><p>The author Jean Overton Fuller 1915-2009 was a prolific British author who specialized in writing about real espionage cases. Here she tries to unravel the mysterious case of Henri Déricourt 1909-1962 a French pilot who was an undercover agent for the British during World War II. Déricourt aided the Resistance in France but was also in touch with the Germans. Indeed he was accused of having sacrificed Allied agents to the Germans. So the question arises: Was he a double agent working for the Nazis Or was he instead under the control of British Intelligence throughout the war The author who knew Déricourt well believes he engaged in "loyal treason" meaning that he ultimately acted under British orders.<br /></p><p>The previous owner of this book was Robert S. Greene 1922-2013 an American author and jazz pianist. Greene himself had an interest in espionage; he wrote a biography of his uncle Paul Blum a counterespionage officer in World War II.<br /></p><p>Laid in to the book is a 1994 typed and signed letter from Jean Overton Fuller to Greene regarding some genealogical questions Greene had posed. There are also two 2009 typed and signed letters to Greene from London bookseller Timothy d'Arch Smith regarding the author's last year illnesses and demise. <br /></p><p>Copies of this book are scarce to the market. Altogether an interesting look at Déricourt by a prolific author of nonfiction espionage books. <br /></p><p>CONDITION: Foxing and a bit of soiling to top and fore edges bumping to a few edges of boards. Internally a couple small stains. The unclipped dust jacket has some minor edge wear and creases. A Very Good or better copy.<br /></p><br /> Michael Russell (Publishing) Ltd. hardcover books
