Chapter 125: Good Guy Card (Happy Weekend!) )
Subtitle of this chapter: Be a criminal and be a victor
"Miss Pulitzer, judging by what you interviewed, this Chinese is not an anarchist radical, but a brilliant young gentleman......"
The editor-in-chief of Le Monde couldn't help but ask with some skepticism: "Is this information reliable?" ”
"Reliable, of course. "Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Miss Pulitzer, "this is the grandson of Mr. George Baker, and the father...... Well, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, you also know Mr. Brown's daughter. Do you still doubt the claims of the two of them? ”
"Watson" and "Little Fairy in the Forest" now only appreciate Master Yuan, and can even say that they worship it. Can they still speak ill of their friends and "idols"? What's more, they really feel that they are telling the truth.
Needless to say, their Chinese friend's literary "extraordinary talent" can write wonderful detective novels and moving romance novels casually; And Yuan Yanqian's "incisive insights" in economics not only impressed the professors and students in NYU, but was even appreciated by the "Wall Street Miracle".
Neo-Yuan's high morals and broad-mindedness, especially his indifferent attitude towards money, are even more impressive. In order to maintain the dignity of his author, he refused the 5,000 dollars that came to his door.
Now he has donated the huge sum of $500,000 to NYU without saying a word, and this is what Miss Pulitzer has seen with her own eyes.
Who doesn't like to have a friend who doesn't like a little money?
In addition to being lustful...... Hey, it's a big deal to be lustful for him, not to mention Mr. Louis Baker, who has a bit of a stinking relationship with him, and even Helen Brown, the little lady, doesn't think it's a big deal.
"Greasy" is a great writer who can write a delicate and touching novel with a female theme like "Chocolate". This kind of person should be born with an amorous seed!
Although foreigners don't know, "only great heroes can be true colors, and they are true celebrities." This sentence, but out of common human nature, both Eastern and Western societies are very tolerant of the matter of "talented people are lustful". Whether it's Roselle or Muse, aren't they beautiful women?
So the two of them gave our Master Yuan two big good guy cards!
When the editor-in-chief of Le Monde heard this, his expression became serious. This Chinese actually has the endorsement of Mr. Baker and Miss Brown, which has to be taken seriously. Needless to say, Mr. George Baker, as a person in the publishing industry, naturally knows the president of New York University Press.
Mr. Pulitzer knew that the two young men were not very young children, and their words were still credible. So he asked, "Well, Miss Pulitzer." Is there anything else you can do? ”
"Well, there is." Emma flipped through her notebook and said, "I interviewed the professors and students in NYU, and they had mixed and low evaluations of Mr. Yuan......
This is also natural, half of the gambling debts are also money. To say that someone doesn't feel sorry for thousands of dollars is basically nonsense, and this kind of ungrateful guy who says it with a grudge is not so good.
She said seriously: "But in general, except for some people who say that his private life is not disciplined enough, most people still think that Mr. Yuan is a very personable gentleman. People at Stern College, in particular, say they don't see Neo-Yuan as a leftist radical at all. On the contrary, he was a very liberal economist. ”
"Oh, listen to Inbras. A liberal economist has been arrested as a suspect in the Wall Street bombing...... It's really because of the blows. ”
Mr. Pulitzer groaned for a long time and asked, "So what news do you have from the police?" ”
As a major newspaper, Le Monde naturally has reporters who specialize in dealing with the police. However, because of Miss Pulitzer's identity, this dude obediently contributed the inside information he received.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "The police news is a bit strange......
"What's weird?"
"Someone within the NYPD has revealed that the case is now in the hands of them and the New York State District Attorney, but the BOI and federal prosecutors are directing the investigation."
"I see."
Hearing this, Mr. Herbert, who knows quite well about the American justice system, nodded. As a veteran of journalism, he sketched out the general picture of the incident in his mind, and even guessed his daughter's thoughts.
Naturally, he pulled out his pipe and filled it with some tobacco.
Emma said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, can you smoke less?" ”
"Hah!" His father made an exaggerated look of surprise and said, "Miss Pulitzer, as a trainee reporter, what qualifications do you have to stop your editor-in-chief from smoking?" ”
"This ...... Hum! ”
Mr. Pulitzer looked at his stubborn little daughter, took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Tell me what you think." ”
Emma's eyes lit up, and some cold faces instantly became vivid. "My thoughts are that this is definitely more exciting news than the Sakau-Van Zetty case," she enthuses. All-New York ...... No, the national newspapers will pounce, so we have to get a head start! ”
"The Sakau-Van Zetty case......" said the editor-in-chief of Le Monde, puffing on his cigarette and muttering to himself, "to get ahead of the ......"
The Sakao-Van Zetty case and the Ponzi scheme that took place in Boston and, of course, the Wall Street BOOOOM, were the three most high-profile cases of Americans in 1920.
On April 17, 1920, the cashier and security guard of a shoe factory were shooting and killed by two looters while passing through South Bryant, Massachusetts, with $1,577. After snatching the cash, the two jumped into a car carrying several other people and fled.
Because witnesses claimed that the killer looked like Italian, the police treated the case alongside another robbery on Christmas Eve in 1919, which was also committed by a group of gunmen in a car.
A local detective named Michelle E. Stewart has targeted his suspicions on an activist named Mike Boda. Finally captured two of Mr. Boda's anarchist comrades, Nicolas Sacao and Bartolomeo Van Zetty.
Police found several unlicensed firearms on both of them, one of which matched the characteristics of the firearms used by the robbers in both cases. In addition, a conference plan was found in Italian on Sacau, at which the fanzety dude was to give a speech entitled "The Struggle for Survival".
As a result, Sacao and Van Zetty are considered the prime suspects in both robberies.
Their comrades, and rather, the anarchists of the whole world all consider this to be a frame-up, a conspiracy by the US government to eliminate the anarchists. Therefore, from the second half of 1920 onwards, the anarchist radical movement against the United States spread all over the world, and there were not only many demonstrations in the United States and Europe, but also the bombing of the American embassy in Europe.
The BOOOOM on Wall Street on September 16, 1920, is believed to be the main reason for the work of the radicals.
Originally, the trial of the two men was to begin in May 1921, and the trial would last six years. In 1927, the two men were convicted and executed, and in 1977, the governor of Massachusetts issued a statement to "rehabilitate the two men." (note 1)

Note 1: The above content of the Sakau-Van Zetty case was not copied and pasted on the Internet, but was typed out word by word. If it can really be Baidu, the author is too lazy to play so much. The problem is that this case has a lot to do with the BOOOOM on Wall Street, so I have to popularize science.
