Florence pleads guilty and plans Florida life after escape
Ralph Florence, 47, who faked insanity to avoid the electric chair for a policeman killing decades ago, is freed after a New York state supreme court justice allowed a guilty plea to first degree manslaughter and suspended sentence. He heads to Miami where cousins offer him a home, aiming to become a shoe salesman. Capetown case notes Dr Neville Alexander, a detained non white scholar, to be summarily tried for sabotage with bail denied. In Miami, Gloria Dehaven obtains divorce from Richard Fincher after seven years of marriage, custody awarded for their two children.
