but surviving this mess is arnold ross rothstein and rothstein. there many, many sites that one can visit, which were associated with him in new york city, most notably the park central hotel, very near to carnegie hall, big hotel still in business now, 200 west, 56 street and he his is killed in the upper upper room there. by another gambler named george mcmanus. well, that's my theory, anyway. and it was the it was the days of their theory as well, but not the juries, but pretty much i think the fix was was in there too, to let him go. now, rothstein was involved in like i say, rum running with loan sharking, bootlegging, speakeasies, fixing things with these the great middle man of things. and and one of the middle man. well, there's a there's an adjunct or a detour from the rothstein story, which i'll and he has a relative of a relative of his is a cousin and is married to a guy named george ringler. and george ringler was a sort of he would get around in political circles again, politics. a you also worked for the new york daily news as sort

he's rothstein's attorney at the end, he's everything for him and arnold rothstein is shot at the park central hotel and is dying at the polyclinic hotel, which, by the way, valentino and marilyn monroe was treated at. and when rothstein, in his dying, kantor produces up at the deathbed and says arnold, remember that. will you ask me to prepare? a few weeks ago, and you never got around to signing? i happened. have it right here. sign. this was contested by arnold's relatives. but that that's the sort of fellow that morris was and the sort of people were often infesting politics at time, which is why tammany was about to collapse. they also had to vet arnold rothstein's papers, which randi may have with her. i don't know, though, she says. now was a was the 17th district court leader of of tammany and a guy named nathan berkin, the name of the tammany guys not dumb. berkin was the best entertainment lawyer in the country he represents. you name all the stars of the silent. you name all the studios. he represented them all. he was hot stuff was good. oddly enough, his grandson, jonathan

rothstein is a slow pay. he knows the value of keeping money around so you can invest it in other things, such as loan sharking. so, if you don't pay the white sox players what you have promised them right away. say, you are holding on to another 40 or $50,000. you can use that $40 $50,000 to bet on them, which isn't much of a bet because you know the outcome. or just loan some money to some guy in times square. so why put the money to use that way? hang on to it. a slow pay will eventually get him killed after he was a slow pay in a very high stakes poker game in 1928. but his guys are not paying the white sox right away. and they feel stiffed. so, they are going to eventually start to play to win. everybody is double crossing everyone else. and that is why, say, for example, eddie seacot wins that one game that he wins in the -- in the 1919 world series. and why, even though harry was made up by elliot asanoff, there were threats coming in. there -- there's an account of one threat which was coming in to wi

arnold rothstein's times square. and because it's times square where you keep your hand on your wallet. i was stiffed on payment for that to her. but i kept all my notes. more remarkably, i can find them in the hovel that passes for my office. so i thought i will do the interview and maybe i could publish a little pamphlet. i tend to get carried away. one of the reasons i could get carried away is because unlike today's newspapers, which we got all sorts of details, particularly about crimes, criminals, locations. the newspapers then were just full of details, and they had plenty of details to be full of in the prohibition era in times square. i took the thing forward and did like a part two in the book about the upper west side, which i was quite surprised to learn was really mobbed up back then. it's a direct shot from times square, from the upper west side to where the action was in times square. so the newspapers would tell you all of the details and they would tell you not only the street that something occurred

he's doing it at the behest of arnold rothstein. rothstein gets a cut, police get a cut, everything like that. being married to fanny brice, okay, fanny brice had been married earlier to a guy named nicky anstein. if you remember the movie. what they left out in the movie, largely, was that nicky rnstein was a confederate and a great admirer of arnold rothstein. he was a con man in his own right. there were a lot government bonds back then. they were bearer bonds so you should cash them in. so if you got a shipment of bonds coming up from wall street to a bank or something, it could be hit and then robbed and arnstein was involved in this, went on the lam at one point and got sick of being on the lam, turned himself in and arnold rothstein gave him advice. why don't you instead of just turning yourself in some boring way, they would have a police parade down fifth avenue every year year, why don't you get in a car and ride down in the police parade past the commissioner of police. he did. the police were not amused. he did go to lev

so people -- so rothstein becomes the victim, oh, poor around rothstein. but what he does is rothstein and fallon had sent abe out of the country to montreal, hide, stay there forever, shut up, but then they think it over and fallon brings abe back. abe is walking through time square one day and a couple detectives, the pickpocket squad, go up to him and arrest him and arraign him for his part on the black sox fixes. and they bring in a witness from chicago who atell had bet with on the series. he would have said the series was fixed and i was defrauded. he shows up in court and they said, this is abe atell. he had been featherweight champion of the world. he was a famous guy. and he says, no, it was a different abe atell that i bet with. this is complete perjury. this is a total lie. money was passed to pass at grand central terminal or penn station when he got into town. and so atell walks that way. this is how chicago justice and new york justice was handled in those ways and so, you know, in the -- when the trial concludes with the black sox, one of th

rothstein becomes the victim. poor arnold rothstein. what he remarkably does is rothstein and fallon had sent a attell out of the country to montreal. they think it over and he brings attell back. he is walking through times square one day and a couple of detectives go up to him and arrest him and arraign him for his part in the black sox fix. and then they bring in a witness from chicago and he would have said he bet with me in the series was fixed and i was defrauded. he shows up in court and they say, the featherweight champion of the world, he was a famous guy. he says, no, it was a different abe attell that i bet with. this is complete perjury, a total lie. money was passed to him at grand central terminal when he got into town. attell walks that way. this is how chicago justice and new york justice was handled. when the trial concludes, one of the most suspicious things that happened, and this looks like it would have been invented by the people within hollywood but it is not. the celebrating players and their attorneys go to an i

[applause] this is perjury and a total lie! money was passed at penn station ash got into town. this is how chicago justice in new york justice was handled. when the trial concludes with the black sox one of the most suspicious things that happened -- this looks like it would have been invented by people in --lywood for "eight men out" that the celebrating players and attorneys go to a italian restaurant in chicago and those guys have figured out

rothstein is a slow pay. he knows the value of keeping money around, so you can invest it in other thing, such as loan sharking. so if you don't pay the white sox players what you've promised them right away, say you're holding onto another $40,000 or $50,000, you can use that $40,000 or $50,000 to bet on them, which isn't much of a bet because you know the outcome, or to just loan some money to some guy in times square. so, why put the money to use that way? hang onto it? being a slow 35i will eventually get him killed after he's a slow pay of $300,000 in a very high-stakes poker game in 1928, but his guys are not paying the white sox right away. and they feel stiffed. they're eventually going to start to play to win. everybody is double-crossing everyone else. and that is why say, for example, eddie cicotte wins the one game he wins in the 1919 world series and why, even though harry f. was made up by eliot asinov, there's threats coming in. one threat to williams and chick gandil later on in an interview,

so so people so rothstein becomes the victim. oh poor arnold rothstein. but what the what the remarkably does is rothstein and fallon had sent a patel out of the country to montreal gohide hide. stay there forever. shut up. but then they think it over and fallon brings. a towel back a tell is walking through times square one day. and a couple detectives of pickpocket squad go up to them and arrest him and a reign him for his part on in the black sox fix. and then they bring in. a witness from chicago named sammy pass who tell had bet with on the series and passed would have said a tell bet with me the series was fixed and i was defrauded. pass shows up in court and they say this is this is a battelle a patel remember had been featherweight champion of the world. he was a famous guy. and passes no. it was a different a battelle that i bet with. this is complete perjury is a total lie money was passed to pass at grand central terminal or penn station when he when he got into town and so a tell walks that way these this is how chicago justice and new york. j

rothstein can supply that. then there are a whole bunch of gamblers from the midwest, there was a fellow named henry kidd becker, who had been working on fixing the 1918 world series. he didn't quite pull it off, and was thinking about doing the 1919 world series, but unfortunately, he was shot dead in april 1919. this by the husband of one of his girlfriends. but he left behind other gamblers in st. louis, a guy named carl short, harry ramen, ben franklin. other gamblers in des moines, this is interesting. they supposedly honest stay, it upright midwest, you see all these gambling centers in their. and in des moines, there's a guy named david stelter, and ben and liu levy. big gamblers, they are going to be involved in this. then a fourth group, well, i don't know if you got called to people a group, and they are sleepy bill burns and a guy named billy moe hard. sleepy bill burns and a majorly pitcher of no great reputed at all. no great energy, which is why he was called sleepy bill. he would literally fall a

one of the most famous to come here was named arnold rothstein. in 1919, he opened a gambling house called the brook. it was located on the outskirts of the city. rothstein's model was that they would have high-end entertainment in the front rooms and in the back rooms is where the gambling took place. gambling was always illegal and saratoga springs but with the clientele is brought into the city, everyone looked the other way. there was a story about the brook. in the 1930's there would be a police raid, the police went to the front door around 8:00 p.m. and said they needed to check the place out. they went through, went room after room and didn't find anything. they finally got to the third floor. there was a locked door. the maitre d'said there is a little old lady. she is really tired. it if youppreciate would not go in that room. everyone agreed. the police left. they say within half an hour at the place was up and running again. everybody knew what was happening. but these places drew a lot of money in saratoga. in 1953, the key developer

i and this is richard rothstein's book color of law really explores this in much depth that i'm able to talk about. but in a way to the extent that the federal government intervened with with respect to black housing beyond making the market to purchase homes very small, very expensive, very exploitative, a lot of federal effort was channeled to building public housing, right. housing people, but not letting them develop equity and wealth in in property unlike white people. this process incredibly complex african-american people. but how much more is that compounded? or are there ways in which this was easier for people of asian descent, for indigenous people? what the ripple effect on other racial communities. yeah, that's a great question. so for i indigenous families families, the from. about 1887, right up the start of the new deal, this was era that was known, the allotment era. so tribal nations had had their own territory. they had you know what we call reservations and i and there was a and they were owned in common by each nation. and in 1887, i there was a an act passed by
