Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Library of the Morse Institute, Natick, Mass But there was an increasing desire for books among all the peo ple of the town, which could not be satisfied by a private collection, and in order to meet this reasonable feeling, the proprietors of the Citizens' library. On the loth day of February, 1857, voted to give it to the town, as a foundation of a Town library, provided the town will appropriate three hundred dollars, to be expended the first year in enlarging the library. And one hundred dollars at least annually, for the same purpose, and provide a room for the library, and appoint and pay a librarian. This was accepted by the town, April 6, 1857, and thereupon the Citizens' library became merged in a Town library. The town made annual grants for its support, generally in excess of the amount it was required to make. By the terms of its contract. A catalogue, published in 1859, shows that it had then increased to volumes, of which only 483 belonged to the Citizens' library. Another catalogue was published in 1866, and annual supplements of volumes added thereafter. These show a constant increase of interest by the inhabitants in their library, and when it was transferred by the town committee to the Morse Institute, June 2, 1873, there were in it volumes of well selected books. The Morse Institute was founded by Mary Ann Morse, who died June 30, 1862, leaving her whole estate by will, for the purpose of establishing a library for the use and benefit of all the inhabitants of the town. Under these circumstances, the town wisely trans ferred. By vote passed March 3, 1873, its library to the care and management of the Trustees, elected by the town, under the pro visions of the will of Miss Morse, thus forming the basis of the library of the Morse Institute.

This is the true tale of two brothers, sons of a successful Jewish contractor, who along with an MIT graduate and a minister's daughter once competed for headlines with John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd and Bonnie and Clyde. The gang was led by the angry, violent, yet often charismatic Murton Millen, a small-time hoodlum and aspiring race-car driver. With his younger brother, Irv, and later joined by neighborhood buddy and MIT graduate Abe Faber, Murt launched a career of increasingly ambitious robberies. But it was only after his sudden marriage to the beautiful eighteen-year-old Norma Brighton that the gang escalated to murder. Their crime wave climaxed at a Needham, Massachusetts, bank on February 2, 1934, when Murt cut down two local police officers - Francis Haddock and Forbes McLeod - with a Thompson submachine gun stolen from state police. The killings, the dogged investigation by two clever detectives, and the record-setting trial with seventeen psychiatrists were national news. In Depression-era America this Boston saga of sex, ethnicity, and bloodshed made the trio and their "red-headed gun moll" infamous. Gorenstein's account explores the Millen, Faber, and Brighton families and introduces us to cops, psychiatrists, newspaper men and women, and ordinary citizens caught up in the extraordinary Tommy Gun Winter of 1934.
