It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | January 29, 1930 issue

The article focuses on the rumors spread by newspaper of the incident in which a well-known writer was shot and seriously wounded by masked bandits in a small New York restaurant. The press reports endeavored to suggest that this was no ordinary holdup but a shooting growing out of intrigue. With all the facts in hand the police admitted that there was no ground whatsoever for this suspicion. The wounded man seems to have been placed in a false light for no better reason than that he did not care to talk to reporters at a moment when he lay in the hospital with severe hemorrhages from a punctured lung.
