True Stories of Celebrated Crimes from the District Attorney’s Office
Arthur Train
- Train was the former assistant district attorney in New York City. His interactions with clients, together with his experiences in the courtroom, provided the material for the more than 250 short stories and novels he would write during his lifetime. From the Preface: The narratives composing this book are literally true stories of crime. In a majority of the cases the author conducted the prosecutions himself, and therefore, may claim to have a personal knowledge of that whereof he speaks…The scenes recorded here are not literature but history, and the characters who figure in them are not puppets of my imagination, but men and women who lived and schemed, laughed, sinned and suffered, and paid the price when the time came, most of them, without flinching. Contents: The Woman in the Case; Five Hundred Million Dollars; The Lost Stradivarius; The Last of the Wire-Tappers; The Franklin Syndicate; A Study in Finance; The Duc de Nevers; A Finder of Missing Heirs; A Murder Conspiracy; A Flight into Texas; and A Case of Circumstantial Evidence. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
