DeSapio's troubles began in 1958, when his ham-fisted handling of the state Democratic convention led to charges of bossism and reflected badly on Harriman.
In 1969, DeSapio was found guilty of conspiracy to bribe James Marcus, the former water commissioner, and to extort contracts from Con Ed that would result in kickbacks.

Carmine DeSapio, who handpicked governors and mayors in a tumultuous reign as New York's Democratic boss, was remembered yesterday as brilliant, urbane and corrupt.
DeSapio, who was the last boss of Tammany Hall and who once made the cover of Time magazine, died Tuesday in his Greenwich Village apartment.
He was found guilty of conspiracy in 1968, along with mob figure Antonio (Tony Ducks) Corallo and then-Mayor John Lindsay's water commissioner, James Marcus, in kickback schemes involving a Bronx reservoir and Con Edison contracts.

 Welcome to The Villager Online
Essentially, the editorial stated, while DeSapio was trying to pass himself as a Reformer, he was still an old-line machine politician, more interested in providing patronage jobs and Christmas turkeys to supporters than really addressing the community’s needs, not really a district leader but a “district dispenser” as The Villager put it.
DeSapio won by what The Villager in its headline called a “Razor Margin,” 4,857 to 4,271.
Yet, the paper correctly ascertained in its editorial that it was “that last hurrah” for DeSapio and Tammany.
