The title page reads “Investigation of Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce. Hearings before a Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, United States Senate”, and this volume is Part 18, headed “New York and New Jersey”. The dates printed on the title page are July 6, 7, 11, 17, 19, 20; August 15, 16, 17 [1951]. The volume belongs to the 82d Congress, 1st session. It is part of the printed record of the committee created by Senate Resolution 202 (81st Congress), the Kefauver Committee, and prints sworn testimony, a contents list of witnesses with page numbers, and a schedule of exhibits. The Internet Archive scan has 1066 page images.
The session datelines place the hearings in Atlantic City, Newark, and Washington. The session lines print these rooms and buildings:
- Room 325-326 and room 532, Hotel Traymore, Atlantic City
- United States Courthouse, Federal Square, Newark
- Room 318 and room 252, Senate Office Building
The contents page lists, among the witnesses, Stacher, Joseph; Orman, Herman; Ryan, Joseph P.; Farley, Frank S.; Kenny, John V.; Ellenstein, Meyer C.; Harney, Malachi L.; Curran, Joseph; Casablanca, Joseph; Bozzo, Joseph G.; Beecher, Dr. Henry K.. The names follow the contents page; spelling was corrected only where the OCR was plainly wrong. A list of witnesses is not a list of findings: the volume prints questions and answers, and this archive does not summarize them.
The title page gives no year beside the dates; the session datelines read 1951. The contents list gives Stacher as “Stacher, Joseph, alias Doc Harris, alias Doc Rosen”.
The archive.org copy is a Boston Public Library scan of the Government Printing Office print, and the Internet Archive marks it not in copyright. The room lines and datelines above were read from the archive’s OCR text of the scan.
