Supreme Court Declines Interference in Kentucky Governor Case
The U S Supreme Court dismissed the Kentucky governor contest for want of jurisdiction affirming the Kentucky court of appeals ruling that the General Assembly determines the outcome of disputed state elections. Chief Justice Fuller stressed state autonomy and restraint, noting no constitutional emergency required federal intervention. Justice Harlan dissented arguing potential due process concerns and possible federal review in cases of arbitrary state action. Demonstrations erupted in Washington and Kentucky as Beckham faces a hot gubernatorial race under Goebel law with Beckham as acting governor awaiting the next election.

Stolen U S Bonds Likely From Hooksett House
In Suncook on May 21 authorities concluded about 1500 in United States bonds and cash found in an old Hooksett house likely did not belong to Mary Ann Remington, who died there decades ago. Relatives had previously recovered bank books and bonds after her death, and the property later passed to Jeremiah Haggett and housed 20 to 30 mill workers. The tin box with the bonds sat under a closet shelf, and the former use of the apartment as a hen house fueled belief the items were stolen.
