Died. John T. Cahill, 62, senior partner of one of Manhattan's top corporate-law firms, a sedate Harvard Law grad ('27) who spent the rackety '30s as a public prosecutor, won convictions in 97.8% of his cases the first year, sent up Gangster Louis ("Lepke") Buchalter, Communist Earl Browder and assorted dope pushers, counterfeiters and post-Prohibition bootleggers, even boarded the Normandie to confiscate Marlene Dietrich's jewels (as collateral against back income tax claims) before she sailed, and extracted fines from Jack Benny and George Burns for purchasing items that had been smuggled through...
