...President Roosevelt got off a special Atlantic Coast Line train at Jacksonville. Behind him was the work and worry of Washington; ahead of him, fun with friends off Florida. For a stag party he had brought along only Gus Gennerich, his bodyguard, three secret service men and his Secretary Marvin Mclntyre. At the station were his son James and Jacksonville's Mayor Alsop.

Ramon, who had been promoted, was too ambitious to join, but Micky did. That put a stop to their affair. Mrs. Thayer thought Ramon, with a little...
...prosecution raises a laugh against a defense witness by hanging on him the old joke about getting syphilis in a toilet; the defense successfully counters by showing that a prosecution witness once got drunk, took a horse into a church. The 15 defendants were pronounced guilty; Ring leader Marvin got 25 years in jail. Harry Baumann, caught trying to set fire to his father's mill, sought a final sensation by shooting himself. Silly Mrs. Thayer died of overexerting her alcoholic heart. Her husband was proud the strike was broken, wanted to clean all the foreigners out of Fullerton...
