Mister Ron's Basement #1634

Max Adeler's published writings in books is a small sampling of his total output -- he wrote for Philadelphia newspapers for decades from the 1860s through the 1880s, and much of his work is simply buried.

Oddly enough, we have found a good deal of Adeler material in New Zealand newspapers from the period, and we will be reading some this week.

Today's Adeler tale from 1879 involves an editor trying to hire a professional assassin in 'A Persecuted Journalist.'

Time: approx six and a half minutes
