...girl whom Paul Dwyer accused old Dr. Littlefield of slurring was blonde, pert Barbara Carroll, 17-year-old daughter of a South Paris deputy sheriff.

Dwyer omitted her name from subsequent confessions, gave the murder motive as robbery. To friendly South Parisians, Barbara and her father, a respectable World War veteran and deacon, were characters almost as touching as Mrs. Jessie Dwyer, a simple nurse who had long struggled to keep her fatherless boy out of debt.

...once in 1,400 well-chosen words, addressed to the Mexican Ambassador, Dr. Don Francisco Castillo Nájera, did Secretary Hull so much as mention oil wells, gold mines or vast ranches. Experts of the State Department had supplied figures on Mexican expropriations of small farm holdings as far back as 1915. But before he mentioned even these, Secretary Hull went into a juicy preamble about the sympathy of aims existing between President Cárdenas' new deal for Mexico and President Roosevelt's New Deal for the U.
