The Crescent City lynchings : the murder of chief Hennessy, the New Orleans "Mafia" trials, and the Parish Prison mob
Tom Smith (Author)
"Hennessy could see a figure across the street, a block distant, but paid him little mind. It looked like J.C. Roe, the Boylan security officer detailed to watch his house. Hennessy didn't care much about the added protection. He didn't need one of his men or friends to walk home with him every night. Sure he had enemies?any chief of police had more than a human share?but he was safe enough here. He knew most of his neighbors, at least by sight, and after all, remembering faces was part of his business"--Publisher website (April 2007)
