Chaos erupts in Rome as Italian newspapers report a bomb conspiracy against Mussolini's fascist regime, with authorities making numerous arrests and implementing special fascist laws to protect political leaders. The suspect Giovanni, who threw the bomb at Mussolini's automobile, claims he came from France where anti-fascist newspapers operate freely, sparking Italian press attacks on the French government for harboring conspirators. Meanwhile, Mussolini himself defiantly rode around the very spot where the bomb shattered his car's glass, receiving thunderous ovations and floral tributes from supporters. Closer to home, the corruption trial of former Attorney General Harry Daugherty and ex-Alien Property Custodian Thomas Miller continues in federal court, with key witness Richard Merton from Germany contradicting his previous testimony about Swiss banking transactions. In a bizarre personal story, Joseph Sobel turned himself in to police for bigamy, explaining he preferred prison to dealing with his two wives - having married Sadie Rosen in 1921 and Beatrice Altman in 1923.

This September day captures America's complex relationship with both rising European fascism and lingering domestic corruption from the Harding administration. The detailed coverage of Mussolini's assassination attempt reflects how closely American Jews were watching the spread of authoritarianism in Europe, even as many Americans still viewed fascism as Italy's internal affair. The Daugherty trial represented the final chapter of the Teapot Dome scandal era, as the country was still grappling with unprecedented government corruption while embracing the prosperity and moral contradictions of the Roaring Twenties.
