VINTAGE MAYHEM PRE-1940 CRIME HISTORY: THIEVES, HOODS, AND THE OCCASIONAL MURDER. Saturday, July 21, 2007. I wanted a really good book to read after all that studying and Ellen Poulsen's. The Case Against Lucky Luciano. This book is not an homage to Charles Lucky Luciano (thank God); it's an analysis of the vice trials that finally convicted him. The central players in the book are the madame's. Who acted as material witnesses and the prosecution's methods of obtaining witnesses and material. Handsome Ha...

VINTAGE MAYHEM PRE-1940 CRIME HISTORY: THIEVES, HOODS, AND THE OCCASIONAL MURDER. Tuesday, September 08, 2009. Can't Let it Go. I wish I could let it go. Things would be so much easier if I didn't take the FBI's. No as a challenge. You see in each of the FBI's. Responses I got a pat response that "neither confirms or denies" that the files I'm looking for are still in existence. Essentially, they just hide behind a bunch of statutes that allow them to do the minimum unless something compels. Flournoys; C...

VINTAGE MAYHEM PRE-1940 CRIME HISTORY: THIEVES, HOODS, AND THE OCCASIONAL MURDER. Wednesday, July 01, 2009. OK, I have to decide if I'm going to see the new Public Enemies movie with Johnny Depp. I know it sounds silly but making up my mind about this isn't easy. On the one hand, I've always wanted to see a movie about Dillinger that was true to the historical facts. You know you really don't have to add anything to this tale. I know 'artistic licence. Then there's Johnny Depp. Mad Dog Coll; New York.

Best Yeggs: The Bobbed Haired Bandit
http://bestyegg.blogspot.com/2008/02/bobbed-haired-bandit.html
VINTAGE MAYHEM PRE-1940 CRIME HISTORY: THIEVES, HOODS, AND THE OCCASIONAL MURDER. Monday, February 18, 2008. The Bobbed Haired Bandit. Stephen Duncombe and Andrew Mattson have written a wonderful book about the 1920's exploits of Celia and Ed Cooney in Brooklyn, NY. The book is as much about how the "PRESS" can create a celebrity by manipulating public sentiment. Besides being great social history it's also a fast paced read that is hard to put down. Labels: New York Prohibition. Mad Dog Coll; New York.

VINTAGE MAYHEM PRE-1940 CRIME HISTORY: THIEVES, HOODS, AND THE OCCASIONAL MURDER. Tuesday, October 09, 2007. First person accounts without (seemingly) much editing. It's hard for an author to convey second (often third) hand the urgency and stealth necessary to pull off a successful robbery. Willis and Joe Newton describe the life first hand. I wish Doc Newton had been able to be interviewed for the book. Evidently he was the true original among the brothers. I would have loved to have read a fir...New Y...
