District Council of Carpenters and Martin Deveraux, a Local 608 business agent, in a massive labor racketeering, kickback and extortion indictment handed down by the Manhattan District Attorney. All men would either be convicted or plead guilty, but a judge would later throw out Forde and Deveraux's convictions, citing anti-Irish sentiment expressed by members of the jury.
