Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 293rd day of the year.

ON THIS DAY IN 1938, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “State’s Biggest Probe Ordered for Brooklyn.”

The article focused on an intense law enforcement process being implemented in the borough.

“Governor Lehman’s order in effect naming John Harlan Amen special prosecutor and director of the forthcoming investigation gave him the official word to go ahead with a full and free rein and no bars to restrain him,” the Eagle reported.
