Item Details

Description

ohn Kelly (1822–1886) of New York City, known as "Honest John", was a boss of Tammany Hall and a U.S. Representative from New York from 1855 to 1858. The title "Honest" was given to him during his years as New York City Sheriff, and was more ironic than truthful. John Kelly was able to amass a vast fortune estimated at $800,000 by 1867, through both ethical and questionable means. In addition, after having his methods questioned and his title insulted by Mayor Havemeyer, Kelly responded with a lawsuit for libel. On the day of the trial, the Mayor mysteriously dropped dead of apoplexy. Autograph Signature, approx. 3-1/2 x 1-1/4 in. VG.
