...weeks after the murder the police dawdled over clues, questioned suspects, released them. Mayor James John Walker, fretted by his police department's impotence, fearing a political backlash, released Joseph A. Warren as Police Commissioner and installed Grover Aloysius Whalen, dapper manager of the John Wanamaker department store...
Even better than the Tiger, the Chief of Police of Paris knows the value of a perfect valet. Monsieur Jean Chiappe, like New York's Grover Aloysius Whalen, is sartorially pluperfect.

On Park Row one Prescott Robinson, ebullient young surface car trackwalker, "gave the bird" (burbled offensively with fat tongue in loose lips) to Commissioner Whalen's gleaming motor. Detective Carl Lynn leaped from the Commissioner's side, arrested the burbling trackwalker, haled him to police headquarters. Like Minister Liaptcheff Commissioner Whalen "refused to prosecute...
