When peace officers came to his summer cabin last week to take him to the penitentiary, Mrs. Finney's plea for "one more hour" was granted. The officers returned to find Warren Finney sprawled on the floor, a bullet hole through both temples, a mirror propped before...

Last week the German Supreme Court gave the Hitlerish husband his freedom, established...
