Frank Smithwick Hogan (January 17, 1902 – April 2, 1974) was an American lawyer and politician from New York. Dubbed "Mr. Integrity" due to his perceived honesty and incorruptibility, he was D.A. of New York County for more than 30 years. ==Life and career== Hogan was born in Waterbury, New Haven County, Connecticut. Prior to his 1941 election, Hogan served as Administrative Assistant District Attorney under his predecessor, Thomas E. Dewey. During his time in the New York County District Attorney's Office, Hogan conducted many high scale widely publicized investigations. Corruption and racketeering were high on his list. Concerning itself with both innocence and guilt, street crime and high-profile cases, the Hogan administration molded itself a national reputation based on resourcefulness, objectivity, and honesty. Through the Knapp Commission, Hogan took on police corruption. In the late 1950s his office was involved with investigating the rigging of television quiz programs, as well as the regulation of 'fixed' college basketball games. He prosecuted the well known Lenny Bruce obscenity case. Another high-profile case involved the exoneration of George Whitmore, Jr. in 1963 after his confession regarding the murder of two women in their upper east side Manhattan apartment was found to be false. In 1958, he ran on the Democratic and Liberal tickets for U.S. Senator from New York but was defeated by Republican Kenneth B. Keating. After suffering a stroke on August 10, 1973, Hogan resigned on December 26. He died of cancer at St. Luke's Hospital in Manhattan on April 2, 1974. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Hogan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
