Crime
A court in Buffalo, New York acquitted Niagara, Canada West storekeeper and sheriff Alexander McLeod in the Caroline case. He was arrested and charged in November 1840 in Lewiston, New York for participating in the burning of the rebel steamer Caroline, moored at Schlosser’s Wharf, and the murder of an American named Amos Durfee. Mr. McLeod had only warned Commodore Andrew Drew about the Caroline, and had an alibi proving that he not participate in the burning of the vessel on the night of December 29, 1837. The affair raised tensions between the British and Americans, but was resolved diplomatically.

Ramsay MacDonald. Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 1924, 1929-1935. Mr. MacDonald was one of the founders of the British Labour Party; he was first elected to the House of Commons in 1906, and became leader of the party in 1914. He became the first Prime Minister from the Labour Party when he led a minority government from January-November 1924, but Labour was defeated in the 1924 general election, and Mr. MacDonald was Leader of the Opposition until 1929, when the general election resulted in a Labour government, with Liberal support. The onset of the depression resulted in a decline of support for the Labour government, but Mr. MacDonald formed a National Government, which included Conservatives and Liberals, and which won a majority in the 1931 general election, but led many members of the Labour Party to regard Mr. MacDonald as a traitor to the party. Mr. MacDonald was known for his interest in foreign policy, and was criticized as an appeaser of Germany's Nazi regime. Mr. MacDonald's health declined, and he resigned as Prime Minister in 1935 in favour of former Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, a Conservative. Mr. MacDonald died on November 9, 1937 at the age of 71, while at sea on a voyage to improve his health.

Prince Konoe (also spelled Konoye) was Prime Minister during the war with China in the late 1930s, but resigned in January 1939 because he didn't want to be a "robot" of the Japanese military.

Prince Konoe was Prime Minister in the months leading up to the December 7, 1941 attack by Japanese forces on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He attempted to avoid war, but resigned on October 16, 1941 when it became clear that his efforts were unsuccessful.

Harry Daugherty, 81. U.S. politician. Mr. Daugherty, a Republican, was U.S. Attorney General from 1921-1924 in the administrations of Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. As a member of the "Ohio Gang"--Republican cronies of Mr. Harding dating back to the President's days as a United States Senator--Mr. Daugherty was suspected of involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal involving payments of kickbacks from oil companies to government officials in exchange for extremely favourable extraction leases in Wyoming. He was officially cleared of wrongdoing, but after the death of Mr. Harding on August 2, 1923, new President Calvin Coolidge, at first reluctant to dismiss Mr. Daugherty, received his resignation on March 28, 1924. In 1926 Mr. Daugherty was indicted for improperly receiving funds in the sale of American Metal Company assets during World War I, and narrowly escaped conviction. He spent his later years attempting to rehabilitate his reputation, and died after a year of declining health.

General Stilwell, nicknamed "Vinegar Joe" because of his personality, was a United States Army officer mainly known for commanding Allied forces in the China-Burma-India theatre during World War II, where he preferred ground troops to air power. He had difficult relationships with British commanders, and had an especially poor relationship with Nationalist Chinese leader Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, which eventually led to Gen. Stilwell's recall from command in October 1944. Gen. Stilwell continued to serve the Army in other capacities until his death after an operation for stomach cancer.

Mr. Callison played right field with the Chicago White Sox (1958-1959); Philadelphia Phillies (1960-1969); Chicago Cubs (1970-1971); and New York Yankees (1972-1973), batting .264 with 226 home runs and 840 runs batted in in 1,886 games. He led the National League in triples in 1962 (10) and 1965 (16), and in doubles in 1966 (40), and led the NL in outfield assists for four straight seasons (1962-1965). Mr. Callison is best remembered for the 1964 season, when he batted .174 with 31 home runs and 104 RBIs, playing in all 162 games. He was runner-up to Ken Boyer of the St. Louis Cardinals for Most Valuable Player in the National League, and probably would have won the award if the Phillies hadn't collapsed in the last two weeks of the season after having an apparently insurmountable lead, finishing a game behind the Cardinals in the pennant race. Mr. Callison did win the award as most valuable player in the major league All-Star Game that year for hitting a 3-run homer to end the game, giving the NL a 7-4 win.
