Book excerpt: When an American gangster is found murdered in London under suspicious circumstances, Sir Reginald Crowe, British banker and friend of Mr. Jellipot, is accused of the crime. Brought before a coroner's court, he's on the virge of being arrested and indicted when another American is found killed under similar circumstances -- a crime that Sir Reginald could not have committed. But who is responsible for these awful acts of violence? And who owns the huge sum of money that had been in the victim's possession at the time of his death? Mr. Jellipot follows the trail of clues from London to the Big Apple, where he must confront the King of Crime himself -- Al Capone, the notorious Scarface -- during the interplay of a quiet dinner in New York!
Download or read book The Kosher Capones written by Joe Kraus and published by Northern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kosher Capones tells the fascinating story of Chicago's Jewish gangsters from Prohibition into the 1980s. Author Joe Kraus traces these gangsters through the lives, criminal careers, and conflicts of Benjamin "Zuckie the Bookie" Zuckerman, last of the independent West Side Jewish bosses, and Lenny Patrick, eventual head of the Syndicate's "Jewish wing." These two men linked the early Jewish gangsters of the neighborhoods of Maxwell Street and Lawndale to the notorious Chicago Outfit that emerged from Al Capone's criminal confederation. Focusing on the murder of Zuckerman by Patrick, Kraus introduces us to the different models of organized crime they represented, a raft of largely forgotten Jewish gangsters, and the changing nature of Chicago's political corruption. Hard-to-believe anecdotes of corrupt politicians, seasoned killers, and in-over-their-heads criminal operators spotlight the magnitude and importance of Jewish gangsters to the story of Windy City mob rule. With an eye for the dramatic, The Kosher Capones takes us deep inside a hidden society and offers glimpses of the men who ran the Jewish criminal community in Chicago for more than sixty years.
Book Synopsis Prohibition in South Dakota by : Chuck Cecil

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Dakota has always had an intermittent relationship with prohibition. Constantly changing legislation kept citizens, saloonkeepers, bootleggers and other scofflaws on tenterhooks, wondering what might come next. The scandalous indiscretions of the lethal Verne Miller and the contributions of "agents of change" like Senators Norbeck and Senn kept ne'er-do-wells on edge. In 1927, the double murder of prohibition officers near Redfield dominated headlines. From the Black Hills stills of Bert Miller to the Sioux Falls moonshine outfit buried under Lon Vaught's chicken house, uncork these oft-overlooked and tumultuous eighteen years in state history. In the first book of its kind, award-winning journalist Chuck Cecil delivers the boisterous details of an intoxicating era.
