The American dream came true for George Remus. Son of immigrants, he rose from poverty & obscurity to wealth, power & fame. Despite little formal education, he became one of the most successful lawyers in Chicago. With the advent of prohibition he moved to Cincinnati & forged the most powerful bootlegging organization in the nation. Bribing government officials enabled him to operate without interference for two years. He amassed a fortune & was known as "King of the Bootleggers." Finally, he was sent to prison. While there he heard that his wife was running around with a government agent. The marital problems of Remus & his wife escalated, & on the day of their divorce hearing, Remus shot & killed his wife. He turned himself in & plead temporary insanity caused by his wife's betrayal. The prosecutor at this high profile trial was Charles Phelps Taft, 2nd, youngest son of the Chief Justice & former President of the United States. It was a nationwide front page news. This book presents biographical sketches of Taft & Remus prior to the trial, followed by a daily account of the trial. Free delivery confirmation on orders over $20.
