Column Two (incomplete story) - Scots Street
Tragedy - Master Painter Shot - Minister arrested
sensational Details - A sensational tragedy took place in a street at (Leith
Midlothian), this morning, when a master painter, J. M. Dalgleish, was shot
dead. The police subsequently detained Peter Carmichael Marr, a Church of
Scotland minister at Halwood, Lanarkshire, in connection with the affair.
Later to-day Marr, who is 41 years of age, passes the Bar of Edinburgh
Police Court charged with the murder of James McNair Dalgleish (68) a master
painter, residing at Lixmount Gardens, Edinburgh. It appears that shortly
after eight o'clock this morning Dalgleish was on his way to open his shop
in Stanley Road, Leith, when he was confronted by Marr, who, it is alleged,
fired several shots at him from a revolver. The employees of Dalgleish, who
were waiting for the opening of the shop, witnessed the tragedy and ran to
Dalgleish's assistance. Marr walked calmly away with his hands in his
pockets, but he.........(sorry, that's all)
Column 3 - Successful Beggar Posed as War Hero
- Even His Wife Deceived - Amazing Inquest Revelation
An amazing confession of a professional beggar, who lived a double life and
concealed from his wife the nature of his calling, was read at an inquest at
Liverpool to-day on Gilbert Hanson (36), who lived in apartments in
Islington, Liverpool. Mary Julia Hanson stated that she was married to
Hanson three months ago. He had lost one leg, he said, while serving in the
Navy during the war. He did no work, and she understood he was a naval
pensioner. He paid her £2 and sometimes more each week for house keeping,
and always seemed to have enough money for his personal needs. He was in the
habit of going to Manchester three times a week, but she did not know what
for. During the last few weeks he had been depressed and threatened to take
his life. She asked him what was the matter, but he refused to confide in
her, saying he was too ashamed to tell, but she would find out later on. On
Thursday night she came home and found he had poisoned himself, and left
behind a long letter, the contents of which were a great surprise to her.
Detective-Sergeant Harford said he had investigated the case, which was
clearly one of suicide. Since the war Hanson had been touring the country
pretending he lost his leg in the war. As a matter of fact, the officer
said, the man lost his leg when a child and did not serve in the war. He had
no pension. He had been a professional beggar all his life. What Beggars Can
Make - The Coroner (Mr. Cecil Mort) said it was not his custom to read the
letters of suicides, but this was the letter of an educated man and intended
for publication. As a warning to the public, therefore, he was read portions
of the letter, deleting any names. The letter began - I am a - (sorry
again, that's all)

Death of Hon. Diana Skeffington - Only Daughter of Lord Massereene
The death occurred yesterday of the Hon. Diana Skeffington, at the London
home of her parents, Viscount and Viscountess Massereene, in Rutland-gate,
London, S.W. Miss Skeffington was their only daughter, and was twenty-one
years of age. She had been seriously ill for some days, though her death
followed closely a statement made earlier in the day that she was a little
better. Her tall and striking figure had been familiar at most of the
important London functions since she "came out" in 1927. she was a keen
dancer, and her graceful personality brought her great popularity. Eight
years ago she and her family narrowly escaped death when the viscount's
Irish seat, Antrim Castle, was destroyed by fire.
on reverse of clipping - William Henry Smith, a general dealer, and
son of the murdered man, said he father had considerable sums of money owing
to him, both in connection with his money lending business and as a club
agent for tradesmen. "Sat Brooding" So far as the son knew no one visited
his father's house to do housework during the eight weeks his father lived
alone. The dead man's only visitors, so far as he knew, were his father's
grand daughter, Miss Molly Wilson, and himself. Smith, questioned by the
coroners as to why he did not go to see his father's body after the
discovery of the crime, replied: "It was early in the morning when the
police came and informed me of the crime. I made a cup of tea and sat
brooding all night. Early in the morning I went to the house, but I was
stopped by a policeman, who told me the body had been taken to the
mortuary." The coroner: You did not see your father from Saturday afternoon,
when you saw him at the Albert Club, until three o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon, when you saw the body in the mortuary? - No. The inquest was
adjourned until November 13
Three Omnibus Mishaps - Miners Escape After A Skid - Daily Express
Correspondent
Doncaster, Thursday - An omnibus, containing eleven miners and the driver,
skidded on a frosty road at Doncaster early this morning, struck a
lamp-standard, and overturned. |No one was injured. An omnibus following it
came in collision with the overturned vehicle before the driver could stop,
and a fireton? lorry swung clear in the nick of time. A third omnibus which
later came to take home the eleven miners skidded and struck a bridge some
distance from the first accident. Mr. Henry Bowskill, aged twenty one, of
Earlesmere Avenue, Doncaster, the driver of the over turned omnibus, said
the miners were all thrown in a heap at the rear end.

Coy. E.A.A.S.C. E.A. Command 21/3/44 - Dear Nan, John and Lawrence, Thank
you so much for your awfully nice letter. I found it very comforting in a
time of great trial. It is beastly to think that I shall not see our little
Valerie again. I used to weave such pleasant thoughts about her future, and
going by Patsy's letters. I could imagine little Valerie walking to meet me
when I came home. Now that is all over. Life does not seem the same now.
Thank God I still have Patsy. She must have suffered terribly, poor girl,
and I was not there to comfort her. I understand that all the family did
every thing in their power to assist, and I would like to let you all know
how deeply grateful I am, and always will be. It must have been ever so nice
for you all to have Alex. home again. I am sure mother was delighted. Both
she and Lily must have been horribly distressed at losing Valerie. They
adored her so, it was obvious to all and did everything in their power for
her. I have her photos in front of me now, and I choose to think of her as a
little angel, but I wish we still had her. Must close now. Goodbye & God
Bless You. Yours George

will forgive me not writing sooner but the time just seems to fly & I have
so many friends to write to, well I must say thank you both for the very
nice C. Card & Calender which you sent. I here their are going to be quite a
lot of changes in Antrim & you seem to have had quite a lot of trouble too,
their seems to be trouble every where. Will you be having any of your
friends over this summer, by your letter that you sent some time ago you had
quite a few over, I am sure you all had a nice time, it is nice the coming
but it is the going away. How is Lorance, wife & little girl. I ma
sure she is getting big now. I had been staying with friends in Hamilton
since christmas so I am home now, but before I came home John called & we
went with a few friends to see Sam McCullough in Auckland, did you know that
he had not been very well, he had a stroke before Christmas, he was looking
much better than what he was at the New Year, was asking for you all the old
friends. How is Annie keeping also Mrs. Gleghorn, is she still working, & I
here Mrs. Wilson is still in Hospital, I suppose she may never come home
again. Who lives next door now, do they have many staying. John Robina &
family keep well, John is working, kept busy, it means a lot, it won't be
long till Elizabeth is at school, how the time goes. I here you have had
very bad weather at home, glad we do not see any snow, the summer here has
not been so good as last year but still when the sun shines it is very warm.
My Mother is still able to go about but her pains have been worse this year,
I think she is wonderful. Well my dears I trust this finds you both in your
usual as it leaves us. Much love xxxxx R. C. Mc here
