Canadian financier spared gallows for murder in Chicago
Russell Scott, once a Canadian financier, will spend life in an insane asylum after a Cook County jury found him insane in the killing of a drug clerk during a 1924 holdup. The verdict ends a prolonged life-or-death battle, with prior reprieves and a judge’s stay of execution.
