...best (i.e., warmest) place to be in Munich on a Sunday morning is in bed. Nevertheless, 8,000 Munchener got up early, waded through ice slush and jammed into the huge, drafty tent of Germany's famed Zirkus Krone.

Arraigned on indictments charging extortion, Detective Krone was jailed when he could not raise $50,000 bail. Lawyer Ross, whose brother turned out to be a Brooklyn Democratic district leader, was let out on $5,000 bail. Miss Pavlick, newlywed and sobbing, was exonerated after the police satisfied themselves that her connection with the case had ended on receipt of the first $1,000.
