...hand (pistol); in Emporia. When peace officers came to his summer cabin last week to take him to the penitentiary, Mrs. Finney's plea for "one more hour" was granted. The officers returned to find Warren Finney sprawled on the floor, a bullet hole through both temples, a mirror propped before...
Thus last week Walter Howey tossed aside the news that he had been called in to doctor the New York Mirror, sick Hearst tabloid. There was a polite little announcement by General Director Arthur Brisbane, who dug down in his bag of trick titles, pulled one out marked "news adviser" for Walter Howey. But what Director Brisbane did not say about "News Adviser" Howey would fill a bang-up book, had already tilled a feverish play, The Front Page.

...recent years Editor Howey helped start the New York Mirror (TIME, Nov. 26), put the tabloid Boston Record firmly on its feet, upping circulation from 197,000 to 320,000, made a great deal of money in the stockmarket, took charge of Hearst's International News Photo Service.

Then it traveled back to the new observatory, where it was laboriously removed from its elaborate packing...
Least concerned of all U. S. journalists over the fate of NRA was the country's most famed editor, Arthur Brisbane, who now runs Hearst's tabloid New York Daily Mirror. While his neighbor Daily News was filling every editorial page for a week with angry philippics and cartoons against the Supreme Court, Editor Brisbane happily buried NRA with a scant half-column editorial. Then he got down to subjects much nearer his soft old heart -babies and gorillas. In a resounding editorial on the Dionne quintuplets' first birthday, he pointed the inevitable Brisbanal moral...
