Bumping along a shell-strewn road near Tsitsihar two days after the battle, Correspondent Frederick Kuh of United Press reported freezing corpses gnawed by carrion, piteous wounded, and short, fat, half-bald Japanese General Jiro Tamon who "punctuated his description of the Japanese victory with derogatory references to the League of Nations...
...Senate lose its foremost sarcastigator, the Democrat whose tongue was like the lash of an Arkansas snake whip. The Caraway manner belied the Caraway mind.

Barton, known as "The Little Man," did not testify, but kept popping in & out of court to be identified. Snorkey seemed interested in Ries's testimony, caused spectators to recall gossip that gangsters were looking for him since he helped to get Gusick a five-year sentence. A handwriting expert identified Capone's signature...
