Jury Disagrees in Duffy Case at New York Supreme Court
Peter J. Duffy police sergeant faced twelve jurors in the Criminal Branch trial. After fourteen ballots over more than a day, the panel stood 9 to 3 for conviction and could not reach a verdict. Justice Goff discharged the jury and reduced bail to 5900, with Duffy paroled to counsel Abraham Levy, as prep for a new trial on remaining indictments. Duffy was accused of collecting $30 a month as protection money from Julius Roth, who ran the Academic Club gambling den on West 80th Street.

Rare book swindle ends in Bowell arrest in California
Henry T Bowell, a young heir described as a scion of an old family, was arrested in Los Angeles on charges of grand larceny for allegedly swindling Macy Willets of $24,000 by selling him supposed deluxe rare editions. The scheme involved collateral notes, valuable volumes, and autographs. Willets invested about $3,000, buying titles including sixteenth Queen volumes, Molidre, and pricey dictionaries later deemed highly overvalued by an expert.
