Thaw shoots Stanford White dead at the Madison Square Garden roof theater.

Stanford White Acquitted

In 1906 Harry Thaw shot the architect Stanford White before a theater crowd at Madison Square Garden. Two trials later, a jury called Thaw insane.

The Bureau of Investigation records him after an arrest in St Louis as a fugitive confidence man.

Victor Lustig Convicted

Did Victor Lustig really sell the Eiffel Tower for scrap in 1925? His counterfeiting and Alcatraz are on record. The tower sale rests on one later book.
