Gillette's Appeal perfected in murder case at Vtica NY
The People versus Chester Gillette on Grace Brown murder moves to the Court of Appeals after a completed appeal, served on Gillette's attorney Lewis by Charlie D. Thomas and Mills. The case faces a fall argument window. Oldsmobile Mudlark finishes a 2.00 mile non stop run in Philadelphia amid crossing winds. Ralph R. Owen piloted a stock touring Oldsmobile through 1000 miles to win two races at Ormond Beach last January. A subsequent 1000 mile run via Old York Road began in Philadelphia, continuing with a second 1000 miles without stop. A stock car from the Clas, Smobile San Francisco agent, recently won $6000 from Los Angeles to San Francisco over tough roads. With three records, Oldsmobile is seen as a strong Glidden Tour contender.

Lord Barrington's Death Sentence Dismissed by Supreme Court
In an opinion by Chief Justice Fuller the United States Supreme Court yesterday dismissed the criminal case of Frederick Seymour alias Lord Barrington, sentenced to death in St. Louis for the 1903 murder of James P. McCann. The ruling affirms the Missouri Supreme Court and the trial verdict, ending years of court battles over prejudice claims and trial fairness. Barrington had argued his conviction was tainted by prejudice and that the charge lacked proof, citing an English title pretense and a marriage to a Kansas City woman.
