...told them he had been tied by his hands and feet to a long stick, suspended by the stick and beaten with clubs. He said that he received no medical attention, and that he had been gagged and told to raise a finger when he was ready to confess...The man suffered from broken bones that were never set....He was released after a year and a half and walks with a limp...

Bayley could have pointed an accusing finger at his colleagues from the era but instead, he explains the failures of the press sympathetically. Journalists made news out of McCarthy's charges, he says, because they came from a United States Senator. Papers desiring to investigate the accuracy of McCarthy's charges usually ran up against a shortage of time and research facilities. In any event, Bayley notes, news analysis was generally left to the editorial pages in those days...
