Howe and Hummel
Howe and Hummel was a New York law firm, celebrated in the latter half of the nineteenth century and principally renowned for its active involvement in crime and corruption.
==Partners of firm==

The senior partner in the firm was William F. Howe (1828 – September 2, 1902), a corpulent UK-born and later naturalized American trial lawyer who had served 18 months in jail in Britain for false representation, and who was strongly suspected of possessing a more extensive criminal background. Prosecuted in 1874 by a pair of white slavers, William and Adelaide Beaumont, "who maintained that they had in some fashion been cheated by the partners",
Howe's background was gone into at some length by the Beaumonts' attorney, Thomas Dunphy. Howe was asked by Dunphy to tell the jury why he had left England. Howe's lawyer, ex-mayor A. Oakey Hall, objected on the ground that the question was immaterial. The objection was sustained. Howe was also asked if his license to practice medicine in England had been revoked. Hall again objected and was again sustained. The question may or may not have been material, but it seems unlikely that it would have been asked at all without some foundation... Some other questions of interest were put to Howe at the Beaumont trial. He was asked if he was the same person as the William Frederick Howe wanted for murder in England. He said that he was not. He was asked if he was the same person as the William Frederick Howe convicted of forgery in Brooklyn a few years earlier. He denied that he was that person.

In 1869, Howe made a partner of Abraham Hummel (July 27, 1850 – January 21, 1926), his physical opposite〔''Bedford Gazette'', 6 September 1901. According to the ''Gazette'' reporter, "It is a sight to see these two law partners together, Howe and Hummel. The distinguished prophet of criminal law, Mr Howe, kicks the scale at about 325 pounds and his partner, Mr Hummel, has the rare distinction of turning the balance at 97 pounds."〕 and former clerk, a runtish, rake-thin genius renowned for his ability to spot loopholes in the law.
