Description

Kansas City attorney Rufus Burrus speaks about Tom Pendergast, and whether or not he was really as bad of a crook as he has been made out to be. Burrus suggests that Democratic boss Tom Pendergast accepted a bribe in a moment of weakness, when he was in financial trouble from his gambling debts.

Because this is an interview with someone other than Mr. Truman, the copyright to this segment is unclear.
