...EMBARRASS THE SENATOR FROM MICHIGAN BY CLAIMING HE IMPLICITLY BELIEVES J. P. MORGAN HELPED ENGINEER AND RUN WORLD WAR I FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT AND THAT MORGAN IS IN THE SENATOR'S OPINION A MERCHANT OF DEATH.

AND THERE ARE POSSIBLY MORE PICTURES IN EXISTENCE OF VANDENBERG AND MORGAN TOGETHER THAN THERE ARE OF MIDGETS SITTING ON MORGAN'S LAP. HOW MANY PICTURES CAN YOU FIND OF SENATORS SHAKING J. P. MORGAN'S HAND...

Another student fired the shots, confessed that he and his partner had robbed and killed "for the thrill."

His grandmother moved heaven and earth and the Journal did its bit to get Dick out, failed to persuade three successive Governors to parole or pardon him. Pampered in prison but ailing, Dick Gallogly in a hospital last...
