Stemple, Herbert. Infamous game-show contestant who initially broke the "Quiz Show" scandals. Stemple, who appeared on the 1950s television show "Twenty One" revealed that correct answers were often times provided to the contestants by producers, who had pre-determined each show's victor. After winning for several weeks on "Twenty One", Stemple was defeated by Charles Lincoln van Doren.

Autograph Letter Signed ("Herb Stemple"). Twenty-one pages, Forest Hills, New York, August 3, 1960. In blue ink. To journalist Mr. Jerome K. Muller. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope, as well as the Fall 1960 Marquette Journal which features an article by Muller regarding this correspondence. In very good to excellent condition. One horizontal fold on each page, and the edges of a few pages are lightly folded, otherwise fine.

In a very revealing and emotional twenty-one page letter, Herb Stemple openly discusses the effects of revealing the truth about the network quiz show scams. He writes: "…I have suffered a mental martyrdom which very few people can possibly realize…In August of that year upon the request of the New York County District Attorney Frank Hogan for any information relating to the "fixing" of Quiz shows I voluntarily went to him and told him my story… After the breaking of the stories in the newspapers…I was subjected to a barrage of slimy vilification by Barry and Enright, called a liar, thief, blackmailer, insane…Van Doren called me a liar, as did … Billy Pearson (of the $64,000 Challenge and Question)…To put it bluntly … I was made the "patsy" for an offense which I was completely innocent …"

Stemple then goes on to explain the resulting backlash he encountered while trying to complete his doctorate. According to Stemple, NYU prevented him from receiving his PhD by accusing him of cheating on his final examinations -- effectively punishing him for tainting the university's reputation with the scandal. He continues: "It is a very strange comment that after Charles Van Doren confessed to his participation in the '21' hoax after having perjured himself twice before a grand jury under oath…he was offered 2 university positions while I find myself in this present day predicament."
