The reference to "Zellich" on the acrd title is wrong - the town is called Zellik, (near Brussels, Belgium).
The incident occurred on 25 May 1937.
For the story entitled "Death of Rockefeller" - this is John D. Rockefeller. he died on 23 May 1937.
On the last line the cataloguer questions the spelling of "E. Mason". This is the correct spelling.
Great - thanks jamied.
