Joshua O. Macdonald a native of British New Guinea and Harvard Medical School student confessed in Central Court yesterday morning that he had renewed his faith in banking institutions after previously distrusting them.
Macdonald traveled from Back Bay Station to New York and back spending 1000 dollars saved for Harvard. On Washington Street South End he was approached by John Reese and George Washington who claimed a friend wanted to deposit funds at a safe bank. Reese insisted banks were unsafe while Macdonald insisted a New York bank was secure.
A Boston trio travels to New York after predicting a bank crash. McDonald withdraws funds, remains safe, while Reese and Washington gamble away his money in a billiards game. They are convicted of larceny and each sentenced to two years in the House of Correction.
Judge Thomas H. Connelly of the Brighton Municipal Court sentenced Joseph L. Bowles to six months in the house of correction after a conviction for bigamy. Bowles alias Lawrence Bowles lived at 89 Sheffield Street Roslindale. His wife, formerly Miss Beatrice Casey of South Boston, who bore him two children, attended the hearing and said she still loves him as he is the father of her children.

A Columbus convention on gland therapy features Dr Upham arguing gland extracts and transplant methods can rejuvenate patients. He cites glandular feeding as effective, warns home treatment is dangerous, and notes three transplantation methods. Skeptics like Dr Bartlett question lasting benefits and call for professional oversight.
Harold F. McCormick, longtime chairman of International Harvester’s executive committee, may exit Wesley Memorial Hospital by Wednesday or Thursday. After a brief rest at home, he plans an extended European trip. Guards block the ward as the gland transplant becomes public and the patient orders privacy. A youth who sold one of his glands to McCormick is mentioned in the report.
The case centers on a man said to have vanished from view as speculation grows that his gland was removed in a surgeon’s office and kept on ice for later transplant. A guard melee erupted when “Soldier” Briggs, claiming to be Max Oser, tried to gain access to Mr. McCormick’s room, was restrained, and the McCormick daughters and a family friend visited afterward.
