A federal judge rules on Vera, Countess Cathcart’s writ of habeas corpus, saying someone can’t be excluded because of something that was not a crime where they did it (adultery in South Africa in this case). She can now stay in the US as long as she wants. The government was forced to admit to every argument brought by her lawyer Arthur Garfield Hays (of Scopes Monkey Trial fame & the ACLU; named after three mediocre presidents). It was attempting to thwart a habeas hearing until Hayes threatened to personally take her to Ellis Island and demand they lock her up so he can then demand they unlock her up.
The French Cabinet led by Aristide Briand loses a vote of confidence.
Reports inform Coolidge that the recent drop in the stock market didn’t affect the commodity markets and that business fundamentals are so strong that everything’s just fine.
Tick tick tick.
