Louis despised Eugene's big-nostriled face, crooked little frame, cold, dogged stare.' refused him a French commission. Eugene at 20 helped the Austrians turn back one of the last Turkish offensives in Europe and remained to become, at 34, Austrian Imperial Field Marshal.

Police reserves arrived, shooed off all but newsmen and one man who leaned against a doorway and wept. Photographer Cranston saw him approach the body, stare in bewilderment at it, sob, put his hand to his wet eyes. Finding a spot where he could get a picture showing automobile, corpse and man, Cranston made two shots. Back at his office later he learned from a reporter that the weeping man was Rose Samanoff's husband...
