Unwritten Law Saves Englishman in Unprecedented Case
Lieut. Douglas Malcolm of the Royal Artillery was acquitted at Old Bailey after a brief trial for the murder of Anton Baumberg. The coroner’s jury ruled justifiable homicide in self defense, while the defense invoked unwritten law, a plea the prosecution did not admit. Police statements and letters reveal marital jealousy and threats, with Malcolm claiming he killed to save his wife’s honor. The trial concluded with Malcolm’s acquittal despite intense public interest.
