According to an affidavit of Robert C. Benchley, dramatic editor of Life, Judge Thayer said all these things to Mr. Loring Goes, of the Goes Wrench Co., Worcester, Mass., at the Worcester Golf Club. Mr. Goes, said Mr. Benchley, repeated Judge Thayer's remarks to him (Benchley). But Mr. Goes last week "flatly denied" the truth of Mr. Benchley's affidavit; recalled no conversation in which Judge Thayer flayed Messrs. Sacco and Vanzetti; said: "I have known Judge Thayer since 1908. I have never heard him use language that he could not repeat in mixed company...

The Swope chauffeur and Colyumist Heywood Broun of the World were uninjured in the front seat. Three days later the New York Triplex Safety Glass Co. Inc. shrewdly published an advertisement in the New York World, Times, Herald-Tribune, reproducing the Herald-Tribune's account of the accident (with all names but the Swopes' deleted), with the catchline...
Heywood Campbell Broun wrote in his column for the New York World: "For ages I had been curious to know what would happen if the nose of a great editor were shattered. I find that it bleeds. ... I do not like to come scot-free when friends of mine in the same car are injured. Besides, a great many duties devolve upon the member of the party who is not lacerated.
