  • Trivia
    Exhaustion from overwork and depression over his failure to convince the FBI to investigate evidence of a Nazi fifth column movement he believed he uncovered in Mexico, are thought to have led to his suicide. An unsigned note found on a dresser in his hotel room said, "In my clothes is $43 in cash. I think my bill is about $32. Give the hotel $32".
