Summary "True Stories of Crime From the District Attorney's Office" by Arthur Cheney Train is a collection of narratives detailing actual criminal cases, published in the early 20th century. The author, who served as the District Attorney of New York County, shares insights and firsthand accounts of various individuals involved in these crimes, aiming to provide an authentic view of crime and punishment while illustrating human nature’s complexities. The opening of the book introduces the case of Mabel Parker, a clever forger who managed to deceive the authorities through her skillful writing and manipulation. It details her arrest after her husband, James Parker, was apprehended for passing bad checks. The narrative explores the complexities of their relationship, her precarious position when the detectives catch up to her, and her eventual confession to having been more instrumental in the forgeries than anyone initially realized. This engaging account sets the tone for the collection, promising a blend of thrilling detective work and human drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
