NOT TO MARRY NEGRESS
OSCAR SLATER’S DENIAL OF REPORT
BLAMES ENEMY FOR IT Reed 11 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. Oscar Slater denies that he is engaged to marry a negress. He attributes the assertion to the cowardly malice of an enemy, whom he is determined to bring to book. Oscar Slater, who was released in November, 1927, after having served ,18 years in prison in Scotland, on conviction for the murder of Miss Gilchrist in Glasgow, the verdict having been upset by the Scottish Court of Criminal Appeal, was reported to have informed the Glasgow correspondent of the “Daily Mail” that he would marry a negress in April. “My fiancee.” he said, “was born In Basutoland, where her parents were wealthy planters. I first met her in Paris 20 y-ears ago. She was then 20, and had just finished her education. We corresponded throughout my long y-ears in Peterhead Prison, where she once came to see me.”
