VALENTINE Police Commissioner TELEPHONE: SPRING 7-3100" The purple ink impression "SETTLED JUL 1940" across the front indicate that the circular was resolved when the precinct officially cleared the case. The Drukman Murder Scandal. Ike Luckman was a prominent partner in the multi-million-dollar Luckman Brothers trucking firm in Brooklyn. On March 3, 1935, his brother (Meyer Luckman) and nephew (Harry Luckman) beat and strangled a relative, Samuel Drukman, inside their company garage. Police caught the killers red-handed, covered in blood at the scene. However, because of the family's extensive mob ties and political clout, a corrupt grand jury unexpectedly refused to indict them, triggering a public uproar. The Bribery Plot: Governor Herbert Lehman appointed a Special Prosecutor to investigate the corrupt dismissal. Investigators uncovered a $13,000 to $20,000 bribery fund engineered to pay off police detectives, local lawyers, and political fixers to tamper with the jury. Ike Luckman was identified as the main bagman who withdrew and funneled the cash. Before he could be apprehended, the fugitive, Ike, fled New York. This circular was broadcast nationwide by Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine to track him down. Ike successfully evaded the police for nearly four years as a fugitive. As highlighted by the pink precinct stamp on your flyer, he finally surfaced and surrendered to his attorney, in March 1940. He subsequently pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges later that year. The red "SETTLED" stamps add unique historical provenance, proving it was actively utilized inside a police station archive. Ike Luckman was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary and ordered to pay a $500 fine. Because he was in very poor health - suffering severely from the diabetes mentioned on the wanted poster - the execution of his prison sentence was repeatedly postponed by the court. Meyer Luckman (His Brother / The Mastermind) was sentenced to 20 years to life for second-degree murder in 1936. He spent his sentence as inmate #91674 at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York. . . (illustrator).…
