...days before the Hoover arrival in Miami, police went to the Coral Gables Kennel Club and arrested Restaurant Cashier Willis Callahan, Dancing Teacher Thomas Mulligan, Tailorman Jacob B. Sommers. They were charged with "conspiring to do bodily injury to the person of Herbert Hoover and by threats and intimidation to prevent him from taking office as President of the U. S." Three days later they were arraigned, placed under $10,000 bail, which they could not raise. Then the prosecutor, Assistant U. S. Attorney Louis S.
