...knew that refusing to go to Bayreuth seemed to him almost like betraying Wagner, that in his distress over the whole situation he was past feeling such thrusts as the one last week published in the Berlin Vossische Zeitung: "The great musician, with incorruptible ears ever mistrustfully and pedantically intent on the last sixteenth note, has heard out of the mighty orchestra that is Germany only the discordant tone." The National Socialist Militant League for German Culture said: "As Germans we are convinced that artistically adequate interpreters of the works of Wagner will be found."

...these revelations lay a point for a defense that must prove no intent to defraud. It was not so much the sale as the repurchase at the same price that aroused the U. S. Government's suspicions. By repurchasing the stock he sold her, Mr. Mitchell got his wife's small fortune "out of hock," whereas he became merely a little more in debt to the House of Morgan than he was before. Was his motive, then, prudence rather than tax-evasion? Elizabeth Rend Mitchell is not in the courtroom. A large matronly woman with two grown children...
