Biography

Jerome was born in New York City in 1859. From 1894 to 1895, he worked in the Lexow Committee. In 1894, he managed the campaign of William L. Strong, who subsequently became mayor of New York City. The same year, he helped create Court of Special Sessions, of which he became a judge the following year. Between 1901 and 1909, he was district attorney of New York County, where he led a campaign against political corruption and crime, often leading raids personally, notably the one against the gambling house of Richard Canfield. He also acted as prosecutor in the trial against Harry Kendall Thaw for the murder of Stanford White. In 1910, he defended former New York State Engineer and Surveyor Frederick Skene against charges of grand larceny in office.
