G. SPECIFIC INQUIRIES MADE BY DAVIDSON
In his letter, Davidson stated that he planned on doing a definitive,
three-part profile on Sinatra for 'YJook"' magazine and was concerned about several
items which he had come across since the manner in which t}}:; were resolved would
help him in ''pitching" his article. In this regard, it may be noted that the
August 29, 1955, issue of "Time" magazine did a rather "definitive" cover story on
Sinatra, and his life has been the subject of a book published in 1946 by Harper and
Brothers, New York, This book was entitled "The Voice" and ws written by
E. J. Kahn, Jr. (100-417728-18) Davidson asked for verification of the following:
1. That Sinatra was arrested for rape in Jersey City or Hoboken around 1934. The
charge is supposed to have been reduced to seduction and then thrown out by the
Grand Jury. (Westbrook Pegler has reported this several times in his columns, )
