Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Bennett, James O'Donnell. Chicago Crime and the Chicago Crime Commission, written for the Chicago Tribune.January 31, 1932. 8.5"x4", 8pp. Original self wrappers. VG copy. Provenance: gift of Henry Field to the Library of Congress (1942). (Field was grandson to Marshall Field and was an anthropologist associated with the Field Museum.) VG copy. O'Donnell had a rather nice touch for the sardonic, and sums up the successes of the Crime Commission on the first page so: "THE Crime commission is the most annoying body in Chicago. And its mainspring, "a certain Mr. Loesch," as Judge Fisher describes him, is a perpetual calendar of disturbing days. Testimony on these points is abundant. Lazy judges, tip-taking bailifs, bootlegging policemen, bail bond fixers, laggard state's attorneys and professional criminals all agree that the Crime commission substantially reduces the joy of life and impedes the flow of easy money to an extent beyond calculation. But, annoyed though they frequently are, the culprits do not half comprehend the perfection to which the commission has brought its specialty of being annoying.".
