...stand went a score of witnesses: Mrs. Lela Wyatt, who divorced the classroom Casanova in 1936 after finding him "more times than she could count" with Mary Jo; Thelma Powell, buxom waitress, once the object of his affections; his sisters and his friends. Seven of them gave him a perfect alibi: that he was 250 miles from the explosion scene at the time. But careful detective work placed his car near the Miller house that night; established his purchase of a case of dynamite in March 1938 in Shreveport, La.; proved by dust analysis that dynamite had been carried...

Further charges...
...Buxom Mrs. Norton, no tearful, bumbling matron but a toughened politician of Mayor Frank Hague's hard-boiled Jersey City school, well knew what was about to happen. For while her New Deal colleague, ancient Adolph Sabath of Illinois, sat at the head of the long billiard-baized table as Rules Chairman, all eyes watched the committee's real overseer, Eugene ("Goober") Cox of Georgia, head hatchet-man of the conservatives...
