A quick check with the savant down the hall confirms that July 15,
1958 was indeed a Tuesday. On-line perpetual calendars confirm the
savant. So Julia was killed on a Tuesday.
The fatal vehicle was driven by a city policeman; John claimed he was
drunk. There was a perfunctory inquest, apparently, but the city
policemen got off the hook -- maybe somebody lied and the
institutional fix was in. But the p'liceman left the force soon
thereafter.
John was both saddened and infuriated by this, and I think one can
hear it in the song. Also sirens from that night.
