The Rose Man of Sing Sing a true tale of life, murder, and redemption in the age of yellow journalism

Morris, James McGrath. (Author). Mayer, John H. (Added Author).

Summary: Despotic, tragic, and yet mesmerizing, newspaper editor Charles E. Chapin ruled the evening press in that bygone era when it was the CNN of the pre-electronic world of journalism. For two decades a century ago, Chapin held dominion over New York's wild assortment of tabloids and broadsheets until he murdered his wife in her sleep and his fiefdom was reduced to that of tending roses in one of the nation's most notorious prisons. The Rose Man of Sing Sing traces the rise and fall of this iconic newspaperman, a life so extraordinary that today journalists still recount the myths it generated.
