Gilmore had been asked to act as a bodyguard to the financier. Fortunately Gilmore was a passenger on the train that hit Nixons body.Milton M. Propper 1906-62 was an American devotee of Freeman Wills Crofts and Lynn Brock. The book is the American equivalent of Crofts: a methodical policeman Detective Sergeant Gilmore and Tommy Rankin of the Philadelphia police-- not brilliant but capable and thorough-- testing discrepancies and checking alibis; finance; transport three different train and two cars thundering across New Jersey by night; and plenty of railway timetables. Like his British models Propper handles a complex plot admirably unfolding layer by layer each mysterys solution opening new possibilities. The pure puzzle satisfies because there is no fat. But which character doesnt need to be in the book has no motive and hasnt been suspected when all the other characters have been eliminated Theres your murderer! With Audobon stock soaring under his skillful manipulation with the money world aghast at the significance of the colossal corner the death of Philip Nixon was a calamity. Mangled on the steel rails of the East Shore Express his body yielded no clues. Armed with knowledge of blackmail threats Detective Sergeant Gilmore of the Philadelphia Police took the case with full confidence of pushing it to an obvious and rapid conclusion. But numerous motives appeared and soon the list of potential murderers included gangsters thirsting for revenge the brothers of a betrayed girl a desperate bear speculator and the mans own secretary once before convicted of manslaughter. Who threw the body on the tracks By sheer doggedness and an intelligence that missed no single detail Gilmore solved this thrilling mystery in a way that will delight the keenest reader." -- Nicholas Fuller at "The Grandest Game in the World" blog.

African American Law Enforcement During Segregation and Civil Rights Era Photographic Archive 1930s-1969

1960ref. 210231960. African American law enforcement photographic archive 1940s-1969 documenting the presence and professional roles of Black police officers during the decades spanning segregation and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. These images record individual officers peer relationships and public-facing roles within police institutions providing visual evidence of Black participation in law enforcement at a time of limited access to such positions. The archive captures both formal portraiture and informal interaction situating these individuals within evolving social and institutional conditions. Archive comprises 11 vintage silver gelatin photographs ranging in size from approximately 2.75" x 5.5" to 5.5" x 7.25". A sequence of six smaller photographs depicts several African American men in uniform including officers wearing double-breasted dress coats with badges a patrolman in standard duty attire and one image showing a man in a Marine uniform standing beside a police officer. One photograph captures two uniformed officers shaking hands suggesting a moment of professional recognition such as academy completion. Another image shows two officers flanking a third individual in civilian attire possibly a legal official based on positioning and dress. A separate photograph includes two older uniformed officers with a handwritten inscription on the verso reading "This is your Brother A.B. and his buddy Ezell Anderson." The archive also includes a 1969 press photograph identifying Herbert A. Craigwell as a high-ranking officer in the Boston Police Department alongside accompanying text referencing increasing representation of Black officers in major city forces. An additional press image identifies Los Angeles patrolman Ronald Allen described in relation to the gradual inclusion of Black officers within urban policing structures. A signed photo of a policeman wearing small round glasses a hat with the number 7 above "Police" reads "Lovingly Kenny" depicting an African American officer likely from the mid 1940s at a municipal department. Created during a period marked by both institutional exclusion and gradual integration these photographs provide a record of African American participation in law enforcement prior to and during major Civil Rights reforms. The inclusion of press images and personal photographs reflects both public recognition and private documentation of professional identity. Minor edge wear and light fading visible across several photographs; overall very good condition. This archive offers a focused visual record of Black law enforcement presence in mid-twentieth-century America. unknown

1900ref. 239491900. American police archive from 1900 to 1945 centered on the policing of prostitution and the wartime treatment of venereal disease sexual behavior and adolescent girls as matters of law enforcement. Techniques of Law Enforcement Against Prostitution directs officers in the surveillance arrest and medical handling of women suspected of prostitution extending police work into taverns hotels tourist camps curfew enforcement and cooperation with military and health authorities. Two earlier pieces establish the professional setting in which such work developed: a turn of the century examination tests officers on vagrancy "public nuisance" liquor regulation warrants fires injured persons and entry into houses while the December 1931 Police Journal addresses criminology heredity and environment traffic control and foreign police systems. Group of three printed police training and professional materials 1900 to 1945: 1 General Knowledge of Duties Examinations for Policemen. San Francisco reproducing examinations dated October 3 1900 July 17 1902 and January 30 1904. The examination defines competent police work broadly as candidates are asked "What efforts should a policeman make to prevent crime on his beat" how to handle injured or sick persons in the street the regulations governing policemen at fires the legal definitions of misdemeanor felony vagrancy assault battery murder and manslaughter and others subjects. 2 Burns R. Vernon ed. The Police Journal: A Monthly Review of Police Progress Problems and Activities. New York: The Police Journal Publishing Company December 1931. Vol. XVIII No. 10. The magazine identifies itself as "The Professional Magazine of the Police of the Nation" and the "Official Organ of the National Commission on Police Welfare." Its contributors and associate editors include criminologists physicians and identification specialists 3 National Advisory Police Committee to the Federal Security Administrator. Techniques of Law Enforcement Against Prostitution: A Manual for the Guidance of Enforcement Officers in Proceeding Against Prostitutes and Procurers. Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office 1945 revised issue retaining 1943 on the title page. Compiled under the Federal Security Agency Office of Community War Services Division of Social Protection and approved by the National Sheriffs' Association the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Interdepartmental Committee on Venereal Disease Control of the Army Navy and Federal Security Agency. The preliminary matter states "This manual is addressed to law enforcement officers. It is not for general distribution." Its contents proceed from "Crime or Disease" and "Why Repress and Suppress Prostitution" through "The Streetwalker" "The 'Call Flat'" "The Call Girl" "Spot Maps" "Patrolling" taverns and bars hotels tourist and trailer camps taxicabs vice squads "The 'Teen Age' Girl" curfew the Social Protection Division the United States Public Health Service and the Military Police. The earliest material defines police duty through crime prevention nuisance and vagrancy enforcement emergency response alcohol regulation warrants and political conduct. By 1931 professional police literature incorporated criminology traffic engineering hereditary theories of criminality departmental comparison and foreign police systems; Dosi's article brought contemporary Fascist policing directly into an American police journal while Mussolini's regime promoted centralized authority as a model of order. The federal prostitution manual shows these broader claims to police expertise applied to wartime sexual regulation. One passage records 264 women arrested in four months: 91 were found infected with venereal disease and 43 had been apprehended with men in uniform; the women were classified as 213 white 33 "colored" and 18 "Indians" while all but two servicemen were released to military police rather than taken to court. "The 'Teen Age' Girl" identifies broken homes employed mothers early employment servicemen husbands inadequate recreation and "delinquent" parents as police concerns while the curfew section addresses legal authority over adolescent nighttime activity. Later scholarship has used the term carceral feminism for some alliances among women's activism welfare work policing and punitive state power; these materials use the contemporary vocabularies of police welfare criminology social hygiene social protection and prostitution suppression.

Overall good condition. A record of prostitution enforcement within a police system increasingly concerned with disease control sexual behavior juvenile supervision and professional authority. unknown

1950ref. 233981950. 1950s crime investigation archive documenting police evidence work during a period when departments increasingly relied on crime-scene photography forensic comparison procedure footwear evidence analysis fingerprint comparison and organized mid-century police evidence methodology to connect suspects to burglaries thefts and other property crimes. The material records officers inside a commercial or storage-room setting examining a desk or cabinet area inspecting the floor and documenting a shoeprint impression with a clearly visible sole pattern.

The archive originated from Wisconsin house. Photo archive of 7 Very large format silver gelatin photographs each 11" x 13.75" United States circa 1950s-1960s. This archive showcases the order of investigative procedure with officers entering an interior crime scene locating possible points of entry or concealment documenting footwear evidence conducting footwear comparison analysis and marking distinctive characteristics for forensic comparison. Uniformed officers in leather jackets and peaked caps gather in a cramped small commercial setting lined with cardboard boxes while a Black officer is visible between them near the center of the room. Investigators examine the lower section of a desk or built-in counter with one man crouched partly underneath the work surface and another officer reaching toward the floor.
