...intend that my letter should be taken, as a joke, for though none would be quicker to appreciate a bon mot than myself. I cannot in all truth my that I see anything funny about forgery. In this stand I am substantiated by several banks and penal institutions...
Senator Borah collected some $7,000 last spring towards repaying the "tainted" money ($160,000) contributed by Oilman Harry Ford Sinclair to the G. O. P. deficit of 1924. But the present G. O.

His remarkable memory for the very page number of obscure cases has confounded many a show-off law student. He works his men hard, regales them with none of his reputed radicalism. During the War he was able assistant successively to the War and Labor Departments. His erudite writings concern the Interstate Commerce Act, Wages, Labor, Criminal Justice. Conspicuous champion of Sacco and Vanzetti, his close study of the case was reflected in newspaper, magazine, and book form. Mrs. Frankfurter...
