This was Chicago's eleventh murder in ten days, its 43rd thug-killing of the year. But the newsgatherers, camera men and police who soon congregated in the pedestrian tunnel were profoundly impressed, agitated, angry.

Lindbergh landed at Newark Airport with Dwight Whitney Morrow, that famed father-in-law who wants to be nominated for the Senate by New Jersey's Republicans beckoned to him for political-photographic purposes a small boy from the welcoming throng. After news-camera men had photographed Famed Colonel, Genial Candidate and Delighted Child, they asked the small boy his name, reported the incident to their editors. Next day it was news indeed to small Jimmy Costello, son of Newark's city engineer, when the Daily News (echoed by the American) reported that...
