Oscar Slater (above) has boon freed and the charge, of murder on which he was im- prisoned for 17 years will be dropped following a year's fight on his behalf by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. Slater, arrested after circumstantial evidence indicated that the slaying of an aged woman in a Glasgow flat was his work, was found guilty and imprisoned. His criminal record also stood against him. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle took up the case a year ago and, using the same methods of deduction and analysis his famous character used in the detective stories, cloarly est- ablished that Slater could not have.committed the crime.

No less hazardous than flying across the water was the trans-Atlantic voyage and return to Newport, R. I., of the little aloop Primrose TV whose crew is shown here at the end of the trip. Their sail to England and back, a distance of 4200 miles, was replete with high adventure and danger. In the centre is Frederick Lothrop Ames, wealthy owner of the vessel.
