Last week the owner-occupant of the mansion had worse than mortgages pay-able-on-demand to think about. One evening the momentary peace of his after-dinner cigaret was shattered by the entrance of a U. S. marshal who promptly arrested him. Not even allowed to summon his own chauffeur, he was whisked downtown to a Federal judge in an automobile which the marshal had hastily borrowed. One of the prisoner's battalion of lawyers, Robert H. Thayer, suddenly called from a party, arrived in the courtroom in evening clothes, arranged for $10,000 bail. Two hours later...

...Communist rally Leon was there, whooping it up for the Party: but it was unemployed Hank Austin, no Communist, who got beaten up, his spine paralyzed under the hoofs of the mounted police. Jason's carelessly flung cigaret set the tenement afire; when Leon clashed in to warn Helen he found her and her Mexican naked as the truth. Mr. Boardman, who had rented a top-floor room that day to watch his cuckolding, became an unidentified corpse. The demented printer in his basement wrote that Rome was burning. Next morning Mother Volga and Mr. Feibelman raced to their...
