‎The Murder of the Century: The Gilded Age Crime That Scandalized a City & Sparked the Tabloid Wars‎

‎New York: Broadway. Fine. 2011. First Paperback Edition. Trade Paperback. No spine crease. 325 pages. On Long Island a farmer finds a duck pond turned red with blood. On the Lower East Side two boys discover a floating human torso wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumble upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. The police are baffled: There are no witnesses no motives no suspects. The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26 1897 plunged detectives headlong into the era's most perplexing murder mystery. Seized upon by battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst the case became a publicity circus as an unlikely trio--a hard-luck cop a cub reporter and an eccentric professor--all raced to solve the crime. What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more sensational trial. The Murder of the Century is a rollicking tale--a rich evocation of America during the Gilded Age and a colorful re-creation of the tabloid wars that forever changed newspaper journalism .

‎Harry HAHN int. Thomas Hart Benton‎

‎The Rape of LaBelle‎

‎Kansas City: Frank Glenn Pub. 1946. Book. Illus. by Illustated. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. A painting La Belle Ferroni�re was presented as a wedding present by a French aristocrat to a middle-class Franco-American couple Harry and Andr�e Hahn just after the First World War. I don't think it will spoil things to reveal that it almost certainly isn't by Leonardo; rather it's a copy of the one of the same title that hangs in the Louvre. When the couple attempted to sell the painting in 1920 the most powerful art dealer of the day Joseph Duveen dismissed it as a third-rate copy. The couple sued for "defamation of title" and a court case followed that made headlines across America. Duveen called an array of his art-world chums as witnesses all of whom rejected the idea of the work being by Leonardo. The jury alienated by the clubbiness on display failed to reach a verdict and Duveen settled out of court. Reluctant to abandon their chance to make a fortune the Hahns spent the remainder of the 20th century trying to find both a buyer for their "Leonardo" and a serious expert to authenticate it. They managed to exhibit the picture in a few department stores and in a gallery in LA but from the 1960s onwards the work became mired in complicated legal battles and they never managed to find a buyer. Meanwhile Harry Hahn wrote a book The Rape of LaBelle a conspiracy theory about the art world. Frank Glenn Pub. Hardcover‎
