Week of Crimes and Crises Across the Nation
Court of Appeals denies Charles H. Rogers a new murder trial in Orange County. The case centers on the Owens family killings and a housekeeper and her daughter. Separately, Amalgamated Copper’s Boston and Montana smelter near Great Falls will close for two months affecting 5000 workers. Oregon mirrors a sweeping local option victory creating dry counties and halting saloon operations. A Montana heiress, Mary Montana Largey, 14, marries a Broadway cab clerk, then plans a transatlantic trip. A Kansas packing plant fire kills two and injures others, complicating flood-stranded logistics. National baseball headlines and a court ruling on habeas corpus tie into broader upheaval.
