[hijack] In honor of The Guy I decided to fire up the entire Dylan catalog on CD. Did you know that there are over 50 hours of music here? I started Wednesday night after work, played tunes all day Thursday at work, played one disk last night and more today! If I’m lucky, I’ll finish sometime this weekend! [/hijack] As an interesting point, I have met both Bob Dylan and William Zanzinger. ---

I just remembered the answer to the remaining questions. “William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Baltimore hotel society gath’rin’. And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder.” The name of the hotel was the Emerson. Homicide: Life on the Street did an episode that paralleled this. However, the killer was the son of a prominent black man (political figure?) who killed the family maid at a gathering at a Baltimore hotel. It seems that both the father and the son were having affairs with the maid. The father was played (superbly) by James Earl Jones. Take the dollar that I’ve just won and donate it to a charitable cause. Thank you. ---

…and for bonus points, W. Zanzinger was sentenced to a six-month term. ---

He was also arrested in 1991 (+/- 1 year) for charging rent on property he didn’t own. Boys will be boys was the local response. :rolleyes: ---
