1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936 Current Chart: 5/28/2013 The following table includes all of the homicides reported by the Buffalo Police from 1902 to 1936. An exact transcription is replicated from the yearly Annual Report Board of Police. These reports were submitted after the year had ended which allowed the police to often include information generated after the arrest. In 1927, there were two additional categories, “officers shot by crooks” and “persons shot by police.” Two of the latter resulted in fatalities. These have been included in the table. Additional information, found from other sources, follows the information supplied by the police. That information is in italics. The homicides are listed in the following manner. Before the date, a number from 1 to 638 has been placed in bold type. The date listed is when the incident that caused the homicide occurred. In a small number of incidents the death occurred on a later date. If more than one homicide occurred during the same incident, each is counted. After some of the numbers, letters appear, capitalized in bold type. If there is nothing in bold after the number, then none of the conditions mentioned below occurred. The following abbreviations have been included: HS-Homicide Suicide: The perpetrator committed suicide after killing one or more people. AS-Attempted Suicide: The perpetrator attempted to commit suicide. LEO-Law Enforcement Officer related: Either an officer was murdered or one or more citizens was killed by the police. E-Executed: The convicted murderer was put to death for the listed murder. I-Insane: The perpetrator was declared insane and institutionalized. CBH (Confirmed By Hearn) means that the execution was found in Legal Executions in New York State: A Comprehensive Reference, 1639-1963 by Daniel Allen Hearn (McFarland & Company, Inc.: Jefferson, NC) 1997. The information about the execution is included in quotations with the page(s) cited. The following are caveats: The names of those involved may have a variety of spellings, even within the original police report. Case #199 is an example of this. The names were sometimes different when found in other sources, such as newspapers. There are a number of reasons. Some of those arrested did not use their real names. They may have been illegally in the country or adopted aliases because of criminal activity. In addition, many had Italian or Slavic surnames. These names were often written down phonetically by police and reporters. First names were often”Amercanized” in an attempt by the individual to be more acceptable to the dominant culture. I have included all the variations of the names encountered, unless surety of the spelling was established, to aid those conducting additional research. The ages of those mentioned in police and newspaper reports were often estimates. Nobody carried identification with their birthdate on their person until driver’s licenses were required for those who wanted to drive motor vehicles. I have placed some additional information at the end of the table. This explains the circumstances of incidents not in the table but that have some relationship to violent events occurring during these years. 1-7 I: 1/12/1902: Joseph Supkowski set fire to a dwelling No. 1047 Broadway occupied jointly by himself and a family named Pearlstein. The Pearlstein family consisting of father, mother, and five children burned to death. Sukowski’s object was to defraud Insurance Company. He was arrested, held for the Grand Jury, adjudged insane while in jail, and was committed to Mattewan prison. Supkowski’s arson for profit caused the death of the Pearlstein family(father (Harry), mother(Fanny), five children, John, Albert, Simon, Rosina(spelling ?), and Hiram). He had over-insured the building for $8000. The floor burned from under the family. Five children from 1 ½ to 12 YOA. 8: 3/26/1902: Joseph Carlino, an Italian saloon keeper at 112 Main street shot and killed James Basso, alias Moore. Basso began a row in the saloon shooting indiscriminately at the persons in the saloon, wounding Charles Clark, bartender, and Albert Morgan and Thomas Carroll. Carlino was discharged by the coroner’s jury, the verdict being 2 self defense. 9 HS: 6/4/1902: August Wolf shot and killed Mrs. Sophia McGiveny at No. 2 Hudson street at the same time committed suicide by shooting and both were dead when discovered. Wolf, who was a married man, was intimate with Mrs. McGiveny who was separated from her husband. 10: 6/17/1902: On the evening of June 17th, Marion, the 6 year old daughter of Cornelius Murphy was reported missing from her home, 257 West avenue. June 27th her body was found in Lily Pond in Forest Lawn Cemetery, the body being almost nude with the hands and feet tied and the autopsy showed that she had been strangled and outraged, investigation led to the arrest of Charles Wee, a Chinaman who operated a laundry at 285 Hudson street in the immediate vicinity of the Murphy home; the evidence being circumstantial was not convincing and he was discharged by the Grand Jury. Chapter 7 in my book The Postcard Killer examines this murder in detail. 11: 6/28/1902: About 11:40 P.M., this date, four men entered the saloon of Austin J. Crowe, 85 Chicago street, as Mr. Crowe was in the act of closing his place, he managing a grocery in connection with his saloon, drinks were ordered and a controversy arose over the payment of same. Mr. Crowe endeavored to eject the men and in the struggle he was shot and killed, the men escaping at the time. Charles Green and John Doyle, alias Fred Mercer, alias Timmy, both parolled men from reformatories were suspected of being implicated in the murder. They immediately left the city, later they were located in Denver, Col., where Green with another of the suspects, John Richards, was arrested. Doyle escaping, Green and Richards were extradited. Green was tried before Judge Kenefick in the Supreme Court and acquitted, Richards was discharged. Crowe’s body was lying on the floor in front of the bar with two bullet holes. Crowe, 38, was killed about 11;40 Saturday night. Three men ran out of the saloon and up Chicago Street. A fourth man dove through the glass in the upper part of the door and then followed the other men that were fleeing the scene. On June 30th, the Board of Aldermen posted a $1,000 reward for the apprehension of the men that killed Crowe. 12: 7/1/1902: William Rossman stabbed and killed his son-in-law, Charles Happ, at 892 South Division street. They both lived in the same house and the stabbing was the result of a family quarrel. Rossman was sentenced to Auburn prison for 7 years. On September 25, 1902, a jury brought in a verdict of second degree murder with a recommendation for mercy. Rossman in a drunken rage stabbed Happ (33) in front of his wife and daughter (Happ’s wife). Happ died in a few minutes. 13: 7/8/1902: During a quarrel among the employees of Forepaugh’s Circus showing here at the time, Dennis Bowen shot and killed Lee Bruce. Bowen was arrested by Detective Sergeant Henafelt and Sergeant Gilligan convicted of manslaughter 1st degree and sentenced to Auburn prison for 7 years. Bowen had missed hitting his intended victim, J.K. Shumate, the Superintendent of Horses, who had just reprimanded the watchman. The murder occurred as the afternoon crowd was leaving the circus tent. Three shots were fired with one striking Bruce in the head. Two detectives had to retrieve Bowen from the crowd. They had already put a rope around his neck and he was badly beaten. 14: 9/1/1902: Charles Callahan, a ticket broker at 161 Exchange street, struck Patrick F. O’Brien with his fist, felling him to the ground. O’Brien’s skull was fractured and he died the same evening. Callahan was indicted on the charge of manslaughter 2nd degree, case awaiting trial. On September 5th, judge found that the blow was thrown “in the heat of passion, and not in a cruel and unusual manner.” O’Brien was killed on Labor Day over an argument concerning the price offered for an unused portion of an excursion ticket. 15: 10/9/1902: At the Hotel Badge, 42 Broadway, Ernest Stanton, a negro, shot and killed Edna Conrad, a negress whose lover he was. He escaped after the shooting but was caught at Niagara Falls the next morning. Convicted of murder 2nd degree and sentenced to Auburn for life. 16 HS: 10/18/1902: George J. Williang shot and killed Mrs. Elizabeth Morton at 145 Eagle street, with whom he was intimate, he then shot himself and lingered until December 23, when he died in the Emergency Hospital. George Jerome Willing, a molder, shot Mrs. Elizabeth G. Morton, his housekeeper, twice in the head. He then shot himself three times in the head. Jealousy was the supposed cause. Willing had come to Buffalo from Detroit several years ago. 17: 11/16/1902: Herman Julius of 192 Lemon street was struck and knocked down by Joseph Davis; his skull was 3 fractured and he died November 24th. Davis was discharged in the Police Court and the case was placed in the hands of the Grand Jury for their action. 18 HS: 11/19/1902: Christ Willis of Bath, N.Y., shot and killed Miss Mary Ferguson at 138 Swan street, and immediately committed suicide by shooting himself.

    MAFIA MOTIFS IN ANDREA CAMILLERI’S DETECTIVE MONTALBANO NOVELS: FROM THE CULTURE AND BREAKDOWN OF OMERTÀ TO MAFIA AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE FAILURE OF STATE Adriana Nicole Cerami A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (Italian). Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Dino S. Cervigni Amy Chambless Roberto Dainotto Federico Luisetti Ennio I. Rao © 2015 Adriana Nicole Cerami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Adriana Nicole Cerami: Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri’s Detective Montalbano Novels: From the Culture and Breakdown of Omertà to Mafia as a Scapegoat for the Failure of State (Under the direction of Ennio I. Rao) Twenty out of twenty-six of Andrea Camilleri’s detective Montalbano novels feature three motifs related to the mafia. First, although the mafia is not necessarily the main subject of the narratives, mafioso behavior and communication are present in all novels through both mafia and non-mafia-affiliated characters and dialogue. Second, within the narratives there is a distinction between the old and the new generations of the mafia, and a preference for the old mafia ways. Last, the mafia is illustrated as the usual suspect in everyday crime, consequentially diverting attention and accountability away from government authorities. Few critics have focused on Camilleri’s representations of the mafia and their literary significance in mafia and detective fiction. The purpose of the present study is to cast light on these three motifs through a close reading and analysis of the detective Montalbano novels, lending a new twist to the genre of detective fiction.

    Sociology Fights Organised Crime: the Story of the Chicago Area Project

    SGOC STUDYING GROUP ON ORGANISED CRIME https://sgocnet.org Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Original article Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Robert Lombardo* Abstract: This article studies the Chicago Area Project (CAP). Specifically, it studies the work of CAP in three of Chicago’s Italian immigrant communities: the Near North Side, the Near West Side, and the Near Northwest Side during the early 1900s. This article argues that the work of CAP prevented many young people from pursuing a life of organised adult crime and that research conducted in these communities has provided information crucial to our understanding of crime and delinquency including support for both social disorganisation and differential social organisation theory. The data for this research comes from published sources, newspaper accounts, and the CAP archives located in the special collections libraries of the University of Illinois, Chicago and the Chicago History Museum. The findings indicate that much of what we know about combating delinquency areas and the cultural transmission of delinquent values is based upon research conducted in Chicago’s Italian neighbourhoods, yet there is no mention of the Italian community’s efforts to fight juvenile delinquency in the scholarly literature, nor is there a recognition that the presence of adult criminality was a necessary element in Clifford Shaw’s original characterisation of social disorganisation theory.

PREFACE N compiling this Read Genealogy, I have been in actuated part by. my . enjoyment of such work, and in part by a desire to -do something of value for the Read family to which my mother belonged, I realize, however, that it is a very incomplete book, for much that whs important has passed beyond recovery with the passing away of the older generations and their neglect of family records. If I had had larger means I might, perhaps, by expensive researches have discovered more facts and made a more perfect record. I have found the written records few and scattered, and not always correct. It has been necessary to depend much on Tradition ; but knowing the uncertainty of such evidence, I have been careful about accepting it unless well verified. I feel sure that the statements of this book can be depended on with reasonable confidence. Some of the kin- dred have helped cordially, for which I return most hearty thanks. Others have seemed indifferent and unresponsive, and if any such do not find much about their own families, they certainly will not blame me.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.

    A Genealogy of Gangs in Chicago

    A Genealogy of Gangs in Chicago Bringing the State back into Gang Research Global Gangs: A Comparative Perspective University of Minnesota Press Forthcoming Originally presented at the Global Gangs Conference, Geneva, Switzerland, May 2009 John M. Hagedorn University of Illinois-Chicago Reading over the chapters in this volume is like taking a journey not only through the world of gangs, but also the different ways we understand them. It was my main purpose in writing A World of Gangs to challenge the existing criminological paradigm for understanding gangs and suggest that we need to think about gangs differently. This book makes solid contributions toward that goal. Over more than decade of studying Chicago gangs, I’ve found the classic ecological lens to be too narrow and often leads us away from making a substantive critique of political and institutional arrangements. Rather than a nose-to-the-playground focus on the processes that teenagers go through to form and maintain a gang, this essay argues for a much broader historical and political stance. In Chicago, I’ve found that one key to understanding the persistence or institutionalized character of gangs are long-standing practices of police abuse, racism, and corrupt machine politics. I’ve found it helpful to replace the ecological frame with a concept from the study of the mafia, Salvatore Lupo’s notion of “polygenesis” (2009, 26). Lupo argues that the Sicilian mafia cannot be understood without grasping the multiple threads of structure and agency, particularly rampant state corruption. This essay applies Lupo’s approach to examine the history of gangs in Chicago.

If it’s not Opinion Summaries forgotten, it’s undeveloped. And even if developed to some extent, it’s April through June, 2021 underdeveloped. Page 12 That area is litigation under the Arizona Constitution. Trial Results April through June, 2021 Attorneys do a fine job of litigating the U.S. Constitution but often fail to Page 47 develop a persuasive separate argument for why the Arizona Upcoming Events Constitution provides greater protection. Page 49 One reason for this failure is the lack of a method. No Arizona court has set forth a process for analyzing our state Constitution. As a result, attorneys are often left arguing in the dark. The goal of this article is to fill that gap and propose a method for litigating claims under the Arizona Constitution. While reasonable minds may differ on what makes a persuasive claim under the state Constitution, this method has two benefits. First, it is grounded in Washington case law. Because Arizona looks to Washington cases for guidance on constitutional issues (as will be discussed below), any argument developed using this approach has a solid foundation. Second, the approach is relatively comprehensive. No approach will ever cover all bases, but the approach proposed herein will cover most. for THE DEFENSE July 2021 Volume 31, Issue 2, Pg.
