Description:
Great reportage about a firm of criminal lawyers in New York City. Howe and Hummel would stoop to perjury, bribes, and more to get their clients a not guilty verdict. Lively account of 2 crooks who represented crooks in court. Lively review of their misdeeds, with a full accounting of how the 2 shysters were finally brought down. Originally a 4 part story in the New Yorker in the 40s. The articles are slightly expanded from the magazine.
