...learned to wonder at once whether it will be the worthy Post-Dispatch or the noisy Star that ultimately takes credit for solving the case. Last January it was the Star's Reporter Harry Thompson Brundidge who brought about the capture of the kidnapers of 13-year-old Adolphus Busch Orthwein (TIME, Jan. 12). Last May it was the Post-Dispatch's ace, John T. Rogers, who returned the kidnaped Dr. Isaac Dee Kelley to his home (TIME, May 11). Last week it was Reporter Rogers again who, on the strength of his success in the Kelley case, was given...

There was the family "executive committee," to deal with police and press; a committee headed oddly enough by William D. Orthwein II, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Kelley and a cousin of young Adolphus Busch Orthwein. And there was the most intense rivalry in the local press, notably between St. Louis' two famed newshawks, Harry Thompson Brundidge of the Star, and John T. Rogers of the Post-Dispatch.
