Petro: Cleveland’s Handsomest Public Enemy book cover

Julius Petro was known for good looks and bad behavior. Cleveland’s most arrested criminal escaped the electric chair, pulled off the biggest bank robbery ever in the city of Warren and, after joining Jimmy “the Weasel” Fratianno in Los Angeles, met a violent end. Author Allan R. May recounts the exploits and final capture of “Cleveland’s Handsomest Public Enemy.” Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
