| | New York Daily News - City News - Ex-Tammany boss DeSapio dies, 95 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09) |
 | | DeSapio, long frail and suffering from a variety of ailments, died at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Greenwich Village, hospital spokeswoman Maura Duffy said, but she declined to give details. |
 | | 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. |
