Fitzgerald Beaten Reporter in Federal Building Turmoil
Chicago March 2 George Ptager ald teller of the United States sub treasury attacked a reporter in the federal building after a grueling cross examination by Chief Wilkie and Cant Porter of the secret service. He threatened to kill the reporter and knocked Marcy Friend down stairs from the eighth floor. Fitzgerald muttered that his wife had been insulted by Friend earlier that day. Two rumors circulated that Fitzgerald had partly confessed and disclosed missing money, while his answers to questions were incoherent and he acted half-demented. Ex district attorney Shirer did not deny the unclear statements. An hour before the assault Ptagerald reportedly fainted during examination.
