...writing in the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri from 1908 to 1918. In 1916 he took a year off, went to Australia, worked on the Melbourne Herald. In Washington no correspondent was more respected by his colleagues than Ross. In 1931 that respect became almost reverential awe when he won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles for the Post-Dispatch's "Dignity Page" called "The Plight of the Country." This series composed one of the most thoughtful and fair-minded journalistic inquiries into the Depression and such remedies as the Hoover Administration was applying...

In Grover Cleveland's time he was making 75? a day as a farm hand near Henryetta, Okla., living in a miserable shack, dressing in dirty blankets. The people of Henryetta knew him as Crazy Jack but on the Government's records...
...begin to find sport in shooting down, without provocation, people who got in his way-filling station men, constables, plain citizens. In two years he, Bonnie Parker & gang were credited with twelve murders, including one when he staged a prison farm delivery near Crockett, Tex. (TIME, Jan. 29). An awe-struck Press magnified him into one of the "worst killers of the Southwest." One morning last week Captain Hamer, who had been following Barrow from hideout to hideout, received a tip that Parker and Barrow would soon pass down a road near Arcadia, La. He and his five companions went...
