Description

LOT Vintage Free Mason Masonic Books Scottish Rite Certificates for Former Las Vegas Police Sheriff John Mccarthy.
McCarthy rose to office with an upset over longtime Sheriff Ralph Lamb, whose incumbency was fractured by a tax evasion charge and a department corruption scandal. Lamb was acquitted, but the fallout enabled McCarthy to emerge the winner.
Once in office, McCarthy shook up the department, put Kent Clifford in charge of the mob-fighting Intelligence section and developed a close working relationship with the Las Vegas office of the FBI. Together, officers and agents pursued reputed Chicago Outfit enforcer Tony Spilotro and his street crew.
“He gave Clifford free rein and said, ‘Go, get ’em,’ ” Denison recalled. “It was the end of Spilotro and his group and what have you, and overall it worked out well.”
