The Downfall of Jimmy Walker: Judge Seabury Cleans Up New York
In 1930 Judge Samuel Seabury began a series of investigations into New York City corruption that still stand as a landmark in municipal housecleaning. The widespread and shocking exposures reached their climax two years later with the cross-examination of gay Mayor Jimmy Walker by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. HERBERT MITGANG,a journalist for the New York TIMESand author of LINCOLN AS THEY SAW HIM, has written a lively biography of Judge Seabury which will be published next March by Lippincott under the title THE MAN WHO RODE THE TIGER.
