I regard Maclay Hoyne as the best state’s attorney Cook County and Chicago ever had. As former editorial head of a Chicago newspaper, and in other capacities, I have had some special opportunities for seeing the inside of his work. It has been good, clear through. He has, in my estimation, done more to intimidate crime than any of his predecessors. Has been the first, in fact, to bring the fear of the law home to the chieftains of crime. (1916 - Henry Barrett Chamberlin)
