Most deeply concerned about catching Omaha's hatchet-man was Omaha's new police-chief, John J. ("Gentleman Jack") Pszanowski. Chief Pszanowski, a Polish miner's son who began walking a beat in Omaha 20 years ago and reached his present eminence last July, is something new in police chiefs. He does not believe in violence.

But in June, young Fritz von Opel, sporting son of a gruff Geheimrat, sent it at a speed of 156 miles per hour over railroad tracks near Hanover. Nine-foot streaks of flame from the exploding rockets trailed its deafening roar. A solitary cat, its only passenger, trembled.
