Ashiall Hammett Jail Contempt Ties to Civil Rights Bail Fund
Broadway Gazette reports Ashiall Hammett chairman of the Civil Rights Congress Bail Fund was jailed this week for contempt of court. Once a famed writer and private eye who created The Thin Man and Sam Spade, Hammett also served in World War I and World War II era broadcasts from Harlem. He once tailed Nicky Arnstein’s wife Fannie Brice, and helped Orson Welles’ Five Kings funding effort before a failed deal with Howard Cullman. The piece notes his long leftwing record and wartime service, including attempting to enlist in 1942 despite being underweight and 48.
