Charles "Fred" Hale comes to Brighton on assignment to distribute cards anonymously for a newspaper competition (a variant of "Lobby Lud"; in this case, the name of the person to be spotted is "Kolley Kibber").
 The antihero of the novel, Pinkie Brown, is a teenage sociopath and up-and-coming gangster.
 Hale had betrayed the former leader of the gang Pinkie now controls, by writing an article in the "Daily Messenger" about a slot machine racket for which the gang was responsible.
 Ida Arnold, a plump, kind-hearted, and decent woman, is drawn into the action by a chance meeting with the terrified Hale after he has been threatened by Pinkie's gang.
 After being chased through the streets and lanes of Brighton, Hale accidentally meets Ida again on the Palace Pier, but eventually Pinkie murders Hale.
 Pinkie's subsequent attempts to cover his tracks and remove evidence of Hale's Brighton visit lead to a chain of fresh crimes and to Pinkie's ill-fated marriage to a waitress called Rose, who unknowingly has the power to destroy his alibi.
 Ida decides to pursue Pinkie relentlessly, because she believes it is the right thing to do, as well as to protect Rose from the deeply disturbed boy she has married.
Irene T. Griffin (July 25, 1899 – April 1983) was an American Republican Party politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly.
 She served one year in the Legislature, but became a bit of a perennial candidate, losing three races for the Assembly, two for the Senate, and one for Congress.
 Griffin first ran for the State Assembly in 1942, but lost the Republican primary to future U.S. Senator Clifford P. Case, future State Senator Kenneth Hand, and two others.
 When Case ran for Congress in 1944, Griffin ran again and won the nomination and the election.
 She did run for a second term in 1945, but sought the Republican nomination for State Senator in 1947, losing to hand in the primary.
 She ran again for Assembly in 1951, but lost the primary to incumbent Florence P. Dwyer.
 She again challenged Dwyer in 1956, this time in a primary for the U.S. House of Representatives; she lost and Dwyer went on to unseat an incumbent in the general election.
 She ran for the Assembly in 1957, upsetting the frontrunner, Nelson Stamler in the Republican primary.
 She lost the General Election to Democrat Mildred Barry Hughes.
 Griffin lost a State Senate primary in 1962 to Stamler, who had since been elected Assemblyman.
 In 1967, she lost a Republican primary for State Assembly to Hugo Pfaltz and Peter J. McDonough by a 2-1 margin.
Mary Lou Rath is a former state senator in New York.
 A Republican, she represents the state's 61st Senate District, which consists of parts of Erie County and all of Genesee County.
 In January 2007, she was appointed to the post of Deputy Majority Leader for State/Federal Relations, making her the only woman in the Senate Republican leadership.
 She announced her retirement in 2008 and was succeeded by Erie County Legislator Michael Ranzenhofer.
 Senator Ranzenhofer had also succeeded Senator Rath as Minority Leader of the Erie County Legislature when Senator Rath stepped down to become a state senator.
Hale studied at the Hartford Art School with Elizabeth Stevens, and in 1899 with William Merritt Chase at Shinnecock, Long Island.
 Her art education continued at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, with Edmund Tarbell.
 On June 11, 1902, she married artist Philip Leslie Hale, whose father was Edward Everett Hale, and whose sister was Ellen Day Hale.
 They lived in Dedham, Massachusetts.
The Hale is an area and ward within the London Borough of Barnet.
 It comprises the eastern part of Edgware and centres on the small retail centre at the junction of Deans Lane, Hale Lane and Selvage Lane.
 This centre constitutes Upper Hale, but is much better known locally as the 'Green Man' after the erstwhile pub of the same name that stood at the site from at least the early 18th century.
 A smaller area that was traditionally known as Lower Hale centres on the junction of Hale Lane, Farm Road and the nearby bridge over Deans Brook; this area is generally regarded as being within Edgware.
 The traditional area known as The Hale extends northwards from the 'Green Man' to the A41 and Apex Corner and the southern end is traditionally marked by the disused Edgware and Highgate railway line just south of West Way and Hale Drive; beyond lies Burnt Oak.
 Today's borough ward has slightly larger boundaries.
USS "Hale" (DD-642), a "Fletcher"-class destroyer, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Maine Senator Eugene Hale (1836–1918).
Sir Matthew Hale {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (1 November 1609 – 25 December 1676) was an influential English barrister, judge and lawyer most noted for his treatise "Historia Placitorum Coronæ", or "The History of the Pleas of the Crown".
 Born to a barrister and his wife, who had both died by the time he was 5, Hale was raised by his father's relative, a strict Puritan, and inherited his faith.
 In 1626 he matriculated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford (now Hertford College), intending to become a priest, but after a series of distractions was persuaded to become a barrister like his father thanks to an encounter with a Serjeant-at-Law in a dispute over his estate.
 On 8 November 1628 he joined Lincoln's Inn, where he was called to the Bar on 17 May 1636.
 As a barrister, Hale represented a variety of Royalist figures during the prelude and duration of the English Civil War, including Thomas Wentworth and William Laud; it has been hypothesised that Hale was to represent Charles I at his state trial, and conceived the defence Charles used.
 Despite the Royalist loss, Hale's reputation for integrity and his political neutrality saved him from any repercussions, and under the Commonwealth of England he was made Chairman of the Hale Commission, which investigated law reform.
 Following the Commission's dissolution, Oliver Cromwell made him a Justice of the Common Pleas.
The Kenwood Astrophysical Observatory was the personal observatory of George Ellery Hale, constructed by his father, William E. Hale, in 1890 at the family home in the Kenwood section of Chicago.
 It was here that the spectroheliograph, which Hale had invented while attending MIT, was first put to practical use; and it was here that Hale established the "Astrophysical Journal".
 Kenwood's principal instrument was a twelve-inch refractor, which was used in conjunction with a Rowland grating as part of the spectroheliograph.
 Hale hired Ferdinand Ellerman as an assistant; years later, the two would work together again at the Mount Wilson Observatory.
Eugene Hale (June 9, 1836October 27, 1918) was a Republican United States Senator from Maine.
Frederick Hale (October 7, 1874September 28, 1963) was the United States Senator from Maine from 1917 to 1941.
 He was the son of Eugene Hale, the grandson of Zachariah Chandler, both also U.S. Senators.
 He was the brother of diplomat Chandler Hale, and the cousin of U.S. Representative Robert Hale.
