THE OFFICIAL FRANCIS E. DEC TIMELINE |
||
Drawing up a timeline of Mr. Dec’s life and times is somewhat difficult as, even to this day, relatively little is known about the man. Still, I have decided to try. Below is an attempt at chronologically organizing the events of Mr. Dec’s life as far as they are presently known to me. Much of the information was originally extrapolated and pieced together in a chronological fashion from Dec’s insane rantings by yours truly. However, since then much new information has come to light, thanks to dedicated Decologists Ted Torbich and Steve Dhuey; both ardent researchers who should be forever lauded for their finds and efforts! New information about Dec has also surfaced from Dec's legal correspondence, which was also procured by Ted Torbich. |
|
|
|||
All important events in Dec's life that can be given an exact date are present below. Events mentioned by Dec in his writings but which cannot be precisely dated have their dates marked with a question mark and should be considered educated guesses. I feel this timeline paints quite an interesting picture of Dec as a person. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Decologists Donna Kossy, Forrest Jackson, Ted Torbich, genealogist Steven Dhuey and NY lawyer Jeff Sperber without whose previous hard work much of this timeline would not have existed. If anyone reading this should happen to have ANY additional info on the life and times of Mr. Francis E. Dec, Esquire, please send it to me and I’ll add it here ASAP. Proper credit(s) will naturally be given! |

immigrate to

a
"German" accent.

later claim to during this time have brought complaint against one
Henry H. Meyer, Assistant District Attorney, Nassau County. Complaints
supposed to have been in regard of "felonious crimes" as well as "forging and
cashing his son's disability checks in order to defraud his son and place him in an insane asylum." This event later
marked by Dec as the supposed beginning of his "decade long illegal persecution" at the hands of

culminate in his wrongful conviction and
disbarment as a lawyer.

counts of
Second Degree Forgery and Second

Grand
Larceny of $400 from

spending rest of life claiming he was framed.
|
||
![]() |
July 2, 1957
|
First ordered to District Attorney's
office in
reference to the Wischning case. Person ordering
him there is one Frank Gulotta, District Attorney

savagely demonized by Dec in his later rants.
|

![]() |
January 6, 1958

Bond
not to exceed $5000.00 issued in order to
guarantee Dec's appearance at trial. One Louis M.
Caruso acts on behalf of National Surety Corp.,

Dec's residence at time is located at 171 S.
Franklin St., Hempstead NY. and not the later,
more commonly known address of Maple Avenue.
Bail is later paid by Dec's own mother, Rose M.
Dec, also a resident of Hempstead, NY.

"Secret" Grand Jury hearings supposedly
held in
District Attorney's office. Dec is not notified. Will
later strongly maintain said hearings never took
place. One member of
supposed Grand Jury is a
Mr. Arthur Lem whom
Dec will later refer to as an
"alien
Chinese life long
gangster, smuggler,
perjurer, defrauder and
imposter" and accuses
of
depending upon
business "doled out" by Frank
Gulotta in order to
survive. New evidence shows
these accusations
by Dec to apparently have
some
basis in reality.

Beginning of

Nassau County Court.
Hon. William J.
Sullivan, County
Judge of Nassau
County
presiding. Dec apparently originally has
lawyers representing him, first one Michael Kern -
who'll later claim other "obligations" prevents him
from defending Dec. After Kern, Dec retains
lawyer Irwing W. Berkman before finally, for unknown reasons, choosing to represent himself.
|
||
![]() |
November 7, 1958 |
Claims to have been "given orders"
from one
Judge Phillip Kleinfeld that he should give up on
the right to defend himself and instead have an
especially "chosen" attorney plead him guilty,
else he'd face severe penalties because "The
Judge and Jury are fixed" - according to Kleinfeld
because someone high up in Nassau County
does
not like Dec.

November
12,
13, 14, 17 & 19, 1958
|
Continuation of trial. Maintains own
defense.
Testifies during trial as to the "Gestapo like
illegal persecution" of himself supposedly carried
on "for over a decade", ever since making

of his "continuous, repeated righteous complaints
of omnipotent gangsterism and corruption of the
judiciary and government."
|
||
![]() |
November 20, 1958 |
Is convicted by
verdict of the jury. Later strongly
maintains both judge, jury and trial minutes were
fixed and that the trial itself was a dishonest
"kangaroo
court" farce trial. A Court Ordered

on this date. Sadly, the results of this examination
are not yet publicly known.

each of his convictions for the
crimes of Forgery in the Second

prison at
hard labor as well as automatic
disbarment from the NY Bar as a lawyer.
Prison
sentence is however suspended. Is instead
ordered to serve
probation
for maximum period
allowable under law. Furthermore, the NY Prison
Authority as of 2006 claim
they cannot find any
evidence of Dec ever having

nevertheless repeatedly tries
to get ruling overturned
over coming
years.
Appeals at least two
times, all
the way up
to US
Supreme Court.
