Ready Answers. Dapper Dan Enright had a ready answer: Stempel's story had long since been proved false. Stempel had indeed tried to peddle his story to the New York Post and the Journal-American more than a year ago, and neither paper had been sufficiently convinced to print it. He had also signed a "confession" for Enright, stating that his charges had been false. But last week, when Stempel repeated his fraud story to the district attorney, the World-Telegram & Sun and the Journal published it-and were promptly sued for libel by Barry & Enright Productions...

Barlow's boast had been half right: insulin is almost impossible to detect. But by extraordinarily ingenious methods described in the British Medical Journal, the drug sleuths found a way to prove that there had been 84 units of insulin in Mrs. Barlow's buttocks when she died, and 240 units may have been injected.

He worked his way through school, held dozens of odd jobs, e.g., selling the Milwaukee Journal. By 1916 he had managed to get into Washington's George Washington University Law School. There, an old foot injury kept him out of World War I military service-so he applied for a civilian war job and wound up as a clerk in the U.S. legation in neutral...
