Ambushed at the door of his home, beaten and hospitalized with painful injuries was Mayor James M, O'Brien of Revere, Mass. Held in $5,000 bail, charged with assault with intent to murder was Robert Jasse, New England's onetime middleweight boxing champion, laid off by Mayor O'Brien as chief of the Suffolk Downs race track special police, who had been heard to say at Revere's City Hall that he had been "tossed around enough," that when he saw the Mayor he would "tear him apart." Next day the convalescent Mayor lay abed...

Shortly thereafter came the first of a series of extortion notes, threatening her with death unless she handed over $3,000. Daniel Shaw was the gang's agent. On the afternoon of March 27 he had set out to kidnap or kill her. She had decided to kill...
...Grace had signed assurances to the pawnbrokers that he possessed the jewels pawned, which he did not possess. Was that not fraud? Last week when Manchester's case reached the Court of Criminal Appeal, it was loftily held by Their Lordships that there had been no "intent to defraud" and therefore no fraud by Manchester because His Grace had been advised by lawyers that he did possess the jewels. In quashing the jail sentence, England's Lord Chief Justice said that the Duke of Manchester "seemed to have acted in good faith...
