Fal- lon, noted criminal lawyer. Handsome in appearance, rich in oratory, and with a keen legal mind, Fallon for many vears was the favor- ite counsel for prominent folk along the Great White Way and it has been estimated that his income dur- ing two of the s in which he achieved his greatest fame was about §400,000 a year. But he is aid to have saved little and to have been a comparatively poor.man when he died. Born in New York City 41 years ago, Fallon graduated from Ford- ham University law school and was admitted to the bar in Westchester county where in 1914 he became as- stant district attorney. He first hecame known throughout the e when he convicted 20 menibers of & blackhand gang for murder. Short- Jv after that he moved to New York City where he established his repu- i tation. His most sensational exploit in 1920 when he bronght Nicky Arn- stein into the city hehind a police parade after negotiating with the | district attorney and the courts for the surrender of the man who was being widely sought in connection with the theft of £5,000,000 worth of stocks and bonds. Jallon next attained prominence when as atforn for the brokerage firm of 1. ) iller and bucket shop frands case, he charged with bribing a juror. Aet- ing as his own attorney in a sensa- tio heé won an acquittal, The case, however, was to mark the end of his spectacular career. The appelate division of the court refused to act on a petition of the Bar association that Fallon be disci- plined for his action in the Fuller case, but in 1924 he announced his retirement from practice, declaring received such t pub- licity that his clients we judged uilty bofore they were tried. How- ever, he continued to practice for two more years but his heyday had passed. The good fortune which had been his, deserted him.
