...dock-walloper-with the police ever tagging his footsteps. Danny's first job was arranged by Grace's new husband, Mitsura ("Mits") Wakita, a warmhearted Japanese-American and longtime credit manager for a wholesale drug house. Danny worked in the cosmetics stockroom for $1.65 an hour, quit to find more pay in January 1965. In April, Danny was braced on a street corner by a drug addict who was also a paid police informer. By odd coincidence, the cops swooped down just as the addict shoved a bagful of barbiturates into Danny's hand. Blared Chicago...
Grace and Danny claim that they have been constantly threatened since the murder of her first husband. Whatever the connection between those threats and Mits's murder, the police have yet to find Mits's killer. Twice police have stopped and searched Danny's car while he was driving Grace and her children. Last month they stopped him again, found a pistol, arrested him and impounded his car.

After several hours, said police, Danny implicated Grace and stated that he had offered Di Gerlando $500 to kill Grace's husband, and that Chan had been the lookout. Di Gerlando later charged that his confession was beaten out of him. The police denied it; he was convicted, is still serving a life sentence...
...York State Supreme Court when it bogged down. While jurors nodded, Pauling's attorney, Michael Levi Matar, plodded laboriously from one niggling point to the next. He kept Mrs. Pauling on the stand for hours while he led her through long explanations of awards garnered by her husband. He questioned Pauling himself about his beliefs and actions at interminable length. Justice Samuel J. Silverman was visibly irritated. "I fail to see where this line of questioning will lead. Move along." Finally, last week, the trial came to an abrupt end. Silverman sustained a defense motion to dismiss the suit...
