The obituary recalls Fiorello H. LaGuardia as New York City’s dynamic mayor known as the Little Flower and The Hat. It notes his fusion victory in 1933, wars on rackets, support for labor, and coauthorship of the Norris LaGuardia Act ending indiscriminate injunctions in labor disputes. Also mentions his interest in the St Lawrence Seaway and power project, multilingual outreach, and long public career from Arizona frontier days to Congress.
Police describe a man about years old of medium height wearing a brown suit and hatless, seen three weeks ago buying 100 feet of ash cord at a north Toronto hardware store near a paper box factory. A cord fragment was found near a lane in the west end. A car with the view was parked nearby. Authorities say particles on a view suggest Vigus and M were killed in a courtyard at the plant where Vigus worked, with a shed in view sprayed with alum paint days earlier.
