On Fourteenth Street a young woman walks the pavement, trying to sell herself to strangers, because a revolver costs money and Alexander Berkman means to kill Henry Clay Frick for the strikers shot at Homestead. An old gentleman buys her a drink instead, tells her kindly that she has no talent for the work, and presses ten dollars into her hand.
I was nevertheless shadowed by the police and pilloried by the press as if I were the one who had killed the unfortunate woman.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
