It appears that the Newberry in Chicago has it on microfilm, but it's not circulating.

You might be able to hire a researcher to find it, or even see if the Newberry might copy it, since you know a specific date.

Roger, I cannot find any place that has the Illinois Staats-Anzeiger. It's possible they're lost to history.

Here's a link to an Illinois newspaper database.

A fairly complete reproduction of Vocke's interview can be found on the Library of Congress "Chronicling America" at: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/search/titles/ under these newspapers: The Jeffersonian (Stroudsburg,PA) 8/31/65 and The Wheeling Daily Intelligencer (Wheeling, WV) 7/31/65.
