Entirely erased from the U. S. Press is the legend of Alfred J. P. ("Jake") Lingle, Martyr-the touching story of the brave crime reporter for the Chicago Tribune who was shot down because he "knew too much" (TIME, June 23). Instead there had taken form by last week the story of Jake Lingle, Racketeer, who sold for fat sums the power of his newspaper to politicians, gamblers, crimesters, without his employers-who paid him $65 per week-knowing much about it. Five days after Lingle's murder the publishers of the Tribune had learned enough about the relations...
