Talley, the big gun in condemnation proceedings in New York, was a close asso ciate of Charles F. Murphy and was urged as a possible successor to Murphy in the leadership of Tammany Hall in 1924. The condemnation law firms actively solicit business from owners of prospective city land "like salesmen sell ing lead pencils and suspenders, " as one witness testified in the hearings before Mr. Wallstein, although this solici tation is specifically forbidden by a court rule which applies to Manhatta...n and the Bronx. The rule says: "No attorney shall directly or indirectly solicit a retainer or employment to present, settle, prosecute or defend any claim or action, or employ or authorize any person so to solicit on his behalf. " Far from observing this rule the law firms of the city swoop down like vultures on the land owners of any neighborhood where a civic improvement is planned, sometimes fifteen years in advance of actual sale, and "sign them up" in a house to house canvass with an agreement that the law firm shall receive 5 per cent of the total award.
