...sudden death of Mayor Cermak, in the midst of such tragic circumstances, is certain to evoke a stream of comment, some of it sober and sympathetic, some of it hectic and immoderate. The temptation to dramatize his rise from poverty and obscurity to the throne of a harassed metropolis will not be resisted for long.

'Legger Roma had just called on Chief of Police Albert T. Clark, presumably to discuss the Boettcher case. Meanwhile Boettcher's father, satisfied by notes that his son was alive & well, promised to pay $60,000 ransom...
