So the idea of Ricciotti Garibaldi’s plot to run assassination plots and whatnot out of France against the Italian Fascist regime was to turn France against the anti-Fascist exiles. It’s probably not helpful to Mussolini that when the French secret police arrested Garibaldi, he spilled the beans immediately and completely.
Herrin, Illinois Mayor Jeff Stone and another man are machine-gunned in the streets by shooters in 4 cars. Inter-bootlegger strife? Revenge for Stone shooting a deputy sheriff / klansman a year ago? None of the witnesses saw nuthin’, as was the custom. The NYT notes that most of the recent Herrin/Marion shootings have been fatal, attesting to the marksmanship of mountain men (or possibly gunsels imported by St Louis bootlegger gangs) (or both).
Poland censors the press, making the printing of news the government doesn’t like illegal, as well as criticism of government officials and anything “derogatory,” with prison sentences or fines being determined by officials without recourse to courts.
