He immediately left his private laboratory in New York in the hands of two colleagues* and began set- ting up an even more elaborate lab in Chicago to work on the Massacre. At Coroner Bundesen’s sug- gestion—because the police themselves were still sus- pects—a Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory was soon established under the auspices of the Northwestern University Law School, between Chicago’s famous “Water Tower” (a souvenir of the Great Chicago Fire) and the Lakefront. Goddard’s was a full-service laboratory, pat- terned partly after a lab set up five years earlier by August Vollmer in California, and partly after labora- tories long-established in several European countries.

Fifty of the shells revolvers were supposed to be rifled according to the same showed identical case marks, while the other 20 showed dif- ferent patterns of marks. Obviously guns using these two kinds of magazine had been employed. Since two of the Massacre killers had worn police uni- forms, Goddard obtained and test-fired all the Thompsons belonging to the police departments in Chicago and its sub- urbs. These were ruled out. The following December, while lying low as “Frederick Dane” near the lakeside town of St. Joseph, Michigan, Fred ‘Killer”Burke (Figure 4) panicked following a minor traffic acci- dent and killed a policeman named Charles Skelly. He escaped, but the Berrien County, Michigan, Sheriff’s Department raided his house near St. Joseph, Michigan, and found an arsenal of ordnance that included two Thompson guns. These were delivered to Goddard’s laboratory for examination. They turned out to be the weapons used in the Massacre, and the man who possessed them, Frederick Dane, who turned out to be Fred “Killer” Burke, had beat it out of town. The New York police were aware of Goddard’s new Figure 2.

The lab even utilized Leonarde Keeler’s new “lie-detector” equipment, which could help police narrow their list of suspects (but which is still not admissible as courtroom evidence). Additionally, in 1931, the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory set up month-long classes to train future crimi- nalists, one of whom turned out to be a “G-man,” Special Agent Charles Appel, who took his knowledge back to Washington, D.C., to help set up a national crime laboratory using the same equipment and technologies some eighteen months later. When FBI Director Hoover chewed out Melvin Purvis for doing business with the Chicago lab, and also refused to give the lab any credit, Goddard was dismayed. After the early financing by Massey and Olson, Northwestern University funded the work of the laboratory, which was partly offset by charging for services performed. Even that was not enough to make the laboratory self-sup- porting, and during Chicago’s world fair of 1933 the lab had to set up an exhibit and sell souvenirs, such as a matchbox- size container with a bullet and shell casing.

  • Clarence Darrow Timeline of His Life and Legal Career Michael Hannon (2010)
    Clarence Darrow Timeline of His Life and Legal Career Michael Hannon (2010) Clarence Seward Darrow was born on April 18, 1857 in Farmdale, Ohio. Farmdale is a small community in southwestern Kinsman which is one of twenty-four townships in Trumbull County, Ohio. His parents were Ammirus Darrow1 and Emily (Eddy) Darrow. He spent most of his childhood in Kinsman. His mother chose the name Clarence. It was an early example of the work of fate that he could not control: Where they found the name to which I have answered so many years I never knew. Perhaps my mother read a story where a minor character was called Clarence, but I fancy I have not turned out to be anything like him. The one satisfaction I have had in connection with this cross was that the boys never could think up any nickname half so inane as the real one my parents adorned me with.2 Darrow’s parents so admired Senator William H. Seward of New York, an outspoken abolitionist, that they gave him the middle name “Seward.” The first of the Darrow line in America was a Darrow who left England along with fifteen other men and sailed to New London, Connecticut a century before the Revolutionary War. They had a land grant from the King of England for the town of New London. This early Darrow was an undertaker which prompted his descendant to write this “shows that he had some appreciation of a good business, and so chose a profession where the demand for his services would be fairly steady.

  • IMTA ALUM SEAN FARIS in GANGSTER LAND IMTA Press Release November 30, 2017 Gangster Land Is Available on Demand and in Limited Theatrical Release on December 1
    IMTA ALUM SEAN FARIS IN GANGSTER LAND IMTA Press Release November 30, 2017 Gangster Land is available on demand and in limited theatrical release on December 1 “Live your life, life is short, go for it; do what you want in your life. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something that you want to do. Because usually that's a person who doesn't believe in themselves and they want to keep you down. As far as life goes; go for it.” – Sean Faris Although it has been nearly 100 years since the gangster Al Capone ruled crime in Chicago, many people are still familiar with what became known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. At 10:30 a.m. on February 14, 1929, seven men were murdered at the garage at 2122 North Clark Street, in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago's North Side. The victims included five members of George "Bugs" Moran's North Side Gang; the massacre was allegedly planned by the organization led by Capone to eliminate Moran. Capone’s rise to power and the events that led up to the massacre are laid out in the new feature Gangster Land, told from the viewpoint of Capone’s second-in-command “Machine Gun” Jack McGurn. IMTA alum Sean Faris stars as McGurn, alongside Milo Gibson as Capone and Peter Facinelli as Moran. Jason Patric and Jamie-Lynn Sigler also star. McGurn begins as an essentially good kid working as an amateur boxer. He has resisted the urging by his friend and up-and-coming Italian mafioso Capone to get involved with the business.

El señor magistrado Jaime Pardo Leal 7 8 RESUMEN El presente trabajo obedece a la inquietud que surge de observar, en nuestra sociedad contemporánea, diversas expresiones de una criminalidad creciente que evoluciona hacia formas cada vez más imbricadas con el Poder Público vigente y con ciertos intereses de empresas legalmente constituidas que aprovechan los considerables dineros procedentes de la gestión criminal organizada mediante la utilización de mecanismos que trasladan el capital ilegal hacia registros formales blanqueados de esos valores. Para ilustrar estas inquietudes hemos tomado, con el ejemplo del trabajo del profesor CARL GINZBURG, tres casos que nos sirven para entender cómo actúa esta forma de criminalidad en un mundo donde la globalización económica, en sus dimensiones financieras, acopla la actividad del Estado, la organización criminal que aprecia el delito como empresa y la ambición ilimitada de las poderosas empresas necesitadas de nuevas formas de acumulación de capital.
