Mrs. Moroney flatly denied ever saying that. "I don't blame the Trib for making it up," said Reporter Wright. "What else could they do when we had the case all sewed up?" Actually, the case seemed far from sewed up. Chicago police records showed that as a baby Mary Agnes Moroney had an operation for a ruptured navel...
