OSCAR SLATER AGAIN.

Sir A. Conan Doyle Shakes Hands With Him in Court.

London, Yesterday.

The hearing of the appeal by Oscar Slater against his conviction of the murder of the aged Marion Gilchrist In Glasgow in 1908, has been opened before five judges in the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, where he was convict- ed.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was very active in the agitation which resulted in Slater'a release on Nov.) 14, 1927, shook hands warmly with appellant when he entered the Court.

Slater's counsel asked leave to call appellant as a witness, pointing out that he had not given evidence at his trial, also to call a fresh witness and to recall Gilchrista maid, Helen Lambie.

Councel said that they had in- in formation that Lamble was hiding and that a week before the crime she had told a lady (her former mistress) that there were the strange on-goings, including concealment of jewels at Mra. Gilchrist's house, and that Gilchrist; said she. was "going to be murdered."Reuter.
