Today -100: November 17, 1925: It is your badge of masculinity


Rhinelander v. Rhinelander: the reading of Alice’s letters to Kip concludes after 4 loooong days. The jury is bored; other people’s love letters are never as interesting as you think they’re going to be. 108 of their letters to each other will be read.

D.C. Stephenson is sentenced to life. Yeah I know I said 20 years, not sure what the discrepancy is. His two co-conspirators who were acquitted are back in court charged with arson for a fire set at Stephenson’s home, to collect the insurance money, two days after Madge Oberholtzer’s funeral.

Bishop Collins Denny advises the North Carolina Methodist Conference to grow mustaches: “That’s all the women have left us. They cut their hair and wear men’s clothes, but they can’t wear a mustache. It is your badge of masculinity.”
