Whoever plotted it. the senseless killing seemed certain to boomerang. Arizona Attorney General Bruce Babbitt quickly took charge of the investigation, brushing aside the bumbling Maricopa County prosecutor, Moise Berger. Both houses of the state legislature swiftly approved legislation to break up the Arizona dog racing monopoly, controlled in part by Emprise. A special prosecution fund providing $100,000 to investigate Bolles' murder is assured of speedy approval by the legislature. The Arizona Republic vowed to intensify its crusade against "the slimy hand of the gangster and the pitiless atrocities of the terrorist...
...more for its money than the Herald, which put $25,000 behind Dr. Frederick Cook. In 1922 the Times bought U.S. rights to stories from an archaeological expedition seeking King Tut's tomb, a venture in which the London Times staked $100,000.

After joining a Philadelphia antitrust firm, David Berger Associates, he saw his $40,000 prosecutor's salary quadruple in a year. He traveled, took high-priced civil cases and decorated his office with marbled burgundy wallpaper made from old English textbook bindings "to achieve the look of a barrister's office in Dickens' day." But the drives of 17 years of public life would not relent. "In some ways," he says of his cases, "I'm still a prosecutor." Albeit without such perks...
