The not so straight mayor of Boston has been in and out of trouble throughout much of his long political career which is well documented in this photo lot. There are some great pieces here: 1941 civil jury orders Curley to repay the state $37,957 he had "improperly received", 1935 speech to save New England Textile industry, deputy sheriff serving restraining orders, 1950 receiving pardon from Truman, 1957 St. Patrick's day festivities, 1947 on his way to jail, 1947 returning to work after being relieved of his duties, 1951 running for his 5th term for Mayor. 1920s to 1940s with a mix of front captions and paper captions on the versos. 5x7" to 8x10".
