Acquitted of child murder, millionaire lashes at wife
In Amarillo Texas T Cullen Davis walked free on a 600000 bond after a jury found him not guilty of the murder of his 12 year old stepdaughter Andrea Wilborn. He attacked accusers and his estranged wife Priscilla outside a Fort Worth Amarillo restaurant as defense attorney Racehorse Haynes castigated Mrs Davis. Davis faces remaining charges including a second murder and two assaults. The six month trial was the longest in Texas history with legal costs over 3 million. District Attorney Tim Curry said no decision on the rest would be made until after Thanksgiving.

Joseph Jenks became the first to receive a patent for machinery in British North America in 1646 granting a 14 year monopoly on watermills. He moved from England at the urging of Massachusetts Bay settlers to help build a foundry and forge for producing basic tools and later invented an improved scythe in 1655 to speed grass cutting.

Hearing Set On 100 Kucinich Layoffs In Cleveland
In Cleveland, Cuyahoga County Judge Harry Jaffe set November 38 for a hearing on 100 workers laid off by Mayor Dennis Kucinich. Workers were reinstated with back pay, and a temporary restraining order blocked further layoffs in similar classifications. The Civil Service association warns the action risks $70 million in federal funds, while the mayor’s office pledges ongoing efforts to root out waste. An amphibious steam boat capable of land and water travel was launched in Philadelphia in 1804.
