In that year he picked up a likely-looking, $2-per-week ball boy in a Milwaukee tennis club, put a racket in his hand, coached him in caution and style so thoroughly that the Polish-American tennist now stands No. 3 in U.

Here was a case worth a prosecutor's diving into, and in dove New York County's ambitious District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey in unprecedented style. Although the State's Attorney General had the case well in hand. Prosecutor Dewey secretly called before his Grand Jury Dick Whitney's sister-in-law while he himself queried Mrs. Whitney.

McCall's astounded nose with an indictment charging that Richard Whitney had appropriated another $105,000 in securities from the trust fund left...
