1934réf. 59731934. St. Paul Pioneer Press. May 10 1934 issue documents the federal prosecution of St. Paul bootlegger Leon Gleckman and the government's effort to connect Minnesota's illicit liquor economy with Al Capone's Chicago organization supporting research into Prohibition enforcement organized crime tax prosecutions and regional newspaper coverage of interstate criminal networks. Published during Gleckman's federal trial for attempting to evade income taxes for 1929 through 1931 the issue places a locally prominent defendant within the wider history of federal authorities using financial records and tax law against figures whose illegal enterprises were difficult to prosecute directly. Court records confirm that Gleckman's case concerned substantial unreported income and that his first trial began in April 1934. St. Paul Pioneer Press. St. Paul Minnesota. Thursday May 10 1934. Number of pages and measurements not stated. Front page carries the headline "AL CAPONE NAMED IN GLECKMAN TRIAL" with the subheading "Government Seeks to Show St. Paulite Sold Chicago Rum Baron Alcohol." The article reports the prosecution's attempt to establish that Gleckman supplied alcohol to Capone presenting the trial as evidence of commercial ties between St. Paul and Chicago during the final phase of national Prohibition enforcement. The headline's pairing of Capone's nationally recognized name with a St. Paul defendant also shows how the local press framed Gleckman's financial prosecution through the more publicly legible language of bootlegging and organized crime. The issue appeared five months after repeal of national Prohibition while federal authorities continued prosecuting income generated during the illegal liquor trade. Gleckman was subsequently convicted on two counts of tax evasion after a second trial and the resulting appellate decision preserved extensive evidence concerning unexplained bank deposits and his claimed interest in a distillery. Left-edge binding holes; otherwise clean with no additional defects reported; overall near fine. A sharply focused contemporary account of the federal effort to reconstruct the financial and commercial connections linking St. Paul bootlegging to the better-known Chicago underworld. unknown books

1886réf. 56938Olympia W.T.: Thomas H. Cavanaugh Public Printer 1886. 8vo. 555 5 xxvii 1 xv 1 ix 1 pp. Contemporary full calf red black & gilt morocco spine labels minor uniform toning some edgewear minor bumping to corners still VG copy from the library of Bates & Burnett law firm with William Charles Bates 1885-1973 and Milton L. Burnett 1887-1972 who operated for decades in Vancouver WA from before World War I and moved their firm into the Charles Brown historic house in 1945 beginning a local trend of using older homes for professional buildings and George W. Yocum 1827-1890 longtime Portland attorney. First edition of this rare Washington Territory lawbook including the January 29 1886 Alien Land Ownership law which was the only anti-Chinese measure to pass the legislature as well as two laws related to Prohibition advocated by newly empowered women’s suffrage voters. The Alien Land laws emerged out of the anti-Chinese riots in Tacoma WA in November 1885 when labor organizations such as the Knights of Labor with the aid of the Pierce County Sheriff succeeded in forcing all of the Chinese residents out of town as well as torching their homes. Building on the 1882 Federal Chinese Exclusion Acts the Territorial Legislature specifically excluded any “Alien” who were “incapable of becoming citizens of the United States” could neither own land or convey title of properties to heirs. Unfortunately for the Chinese in Seattle this failed to placate socialist firebrands suffragettes & Knights of Labor advocates Laura Hall Peters and Mary Kenworthy or the equally charismatic Knights of Labor organizer Daniel Cronin. In February 1886 hundreds of working-class white men and women on the pretense of enforcing local health regulations condemned buildings in Seattle’s Chinatown and herded over 350 Chinese residents down to the Seattle docks and demanded they ship out. About 200 Chinese embarked for San Francisco and another had to wait six days for another ship setting off a riot and declaration by Washington Territory Governor Squire and President Grover Cleveland. The “Local Option” law passed by the Territorial Legislature in 1886 garnered huge opposition from saloon owners and cases brought resulted in the 1888 ruling against “Local Option” by the Territorial Supreme Court returning the power back to city councils and county commissioners.

1938[4], 5-254, [2], 8 [ads], pages. This portion of Carr's life story begins after his experience as a submariner in WWI. He serves as an officer of the Mercantile Marine and experiences incredible adventures and hardships before deciding to move his young family from England to New Brunswick. Times are tough in his new land. He describes the local poverty and exposes the awful social problems of rural New Brunswick, as well as his dramatic adventures at work, with a local trapper and as a member of the C.P.R. police. In short, Carr was a man's man and this book is full of manly adventures. Later in life, Carr [1895-1959] became very concerned about what he viewed as plans for world government and wrote Pawns in the Game and Red Fog Over America, books which sold by the hundreds of thousand. The present work is vital in understanding the background and motivations of this fascinating man. Above-average wear to publisher's black cloth. Binding intact. Gift greetings upon front free endpaper. Spine leaning. Dust jacket not included. Not pretty but a worthy reading copy. Book
