A tiny bit more info would be useful. However, I wonder if you are thinking of the CIA operator who (still) plays a shadowy role on the outer fringes of the JFK assassination conspiracy theories? Burnham, it is said, was implicated in the killing of Leon Trotsky with an ice-pick.
Later, while teaching philosophy at Yale (ain't life great?), Burnham recruited a student, William F. Buckley, Jr. (who later ran the CIA) and introduced him to CIA agent Howard Hunt, who later also played a part in the Watergate affair.

Yes.
In new York between 1853-57 a standard uniform and hat was being introduced . At a meeting the new uniform was accepted by over 300 officers The only exception was Officer James Burnham of the Fifth Precinct, who stood aloof, and entered suit against the city for salary for the whole term of office, for four years, which suit he kept up till the day of his death; but he never received a penny.

Have you ever heard of William J. Burns - America's "Sherlock Holmes?"
