It showed a round-shouldered, straw-hatted young man with a cigaret hanging from his mouth smirking at Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf Gold, interviewing them about their young daughter Vivian and their nephew Harry Lore who had just been murdered and burned with another young couple by three fiends (one a big Negro) in Ypsilanti, Mich.
