Theodore A. Bingham
General Theodore A. Bingham (May 14, 1858 - September 6, 1934) was the New York City Police Commissioner from 1906 to 1909.
==Controversial actions==
In 1908, while Police Commissioner of New York, he published an article in North American Review on "Foreign Criminals" in which he asserted that half the criminals in the city were Jews. In the controversy that followed he issued a retraction.〔Bentwich, Norman (1954) ''For Zion's Sake. A Biography of Judah L. Magnes. First Chancellor and First President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.'' The Jewish Publication Society of America, Philadelphia. Library of Congress Number: 54 7440. Page 77.〕
In 1909 Joseph Petrosino, who was a pioneer in the fight against organized crime, made plans to travel to Palermo, Sicily, on a top secret mission. However, because of Bingham's incompetence, the New York Herald published the story of Petrosino's mission on February 20, 1909, just days before his departure. Even though he was aware of the danger, Petrosino headed to Palermo as planned. He wrongly believed that the Sicilian Mafia would behave as they did in America and not kill a policeman. Petrosino was, however, shot to death by Mafia assassins.〔(Lt. Petrosino Murder ), GangRule.com (accessed October 16, 2010)〕
