Against Mayor Cermak was precisely how Judge Edmund Kasper Jarecki did rule, holding the 1928-29 Cook County tax rolls invalid. Unless the State Supreme Court reverses the decision, new tax rolls will have to be compiled before $140,000,000 in back revenue can be collected. That sum represents a 22.2% nonpayment for 1928. 35.3% for 1929. Inasmuch as the 1930 rolls are based on those for 1928, they are presumably invalid.

These years were very tragic for her but she made the best of them. Her influence as a critic should not be overlooked, he added...
Denmark was startled by so naïve a culpa mea. The astounded magistrate asked for particulars. These, as Fru Bang stated them for record, caused discussion all over the world. For, like the young man who shot his invalid mother in France (TIME. Nov. 18, 1929), Fru Bang poisoned her invalid mother for mercy to her body. But unlike the young man, to whom God was "only a religious belief," she was concerned with the salvation of her mother's soul. The baroness' ailment, the two women believed, was incurable. Her suffering, they perceived, was unbearable...
