| At first glance, he doesn’t seem to have much in common with 21st-century New Yorkers. He was one of 12 children born to farmers in Connecticut. He was fluent in Greek and Latin by age 14, when he enrolled at Yale. He graduated to teach school, including a class for girls that met at dawn. When revolution broke out two years later, he enlisted with the rebels. He was hanged for espionage 235 years ago today, near what’s now 66th Street and Third Avenue, when the British Army caught him spying on its plans to invade Manhattan. He was 21.... |

Chicago -- Matthew Hale, an avowed white supremacist and leader of a group that preaches racial holy war, was sentenced to 40 years in prison Wednesday for trying to have a federal judge killed. "Mr. Hale is not concerned about taking someone's life, but rather how to do it without getting caught," U.S. District Judge James Moody said in imposing the sentence. "I consider Mr. Hale to be extremely dangerous and the offense for which he was convicted to be extremely egregious." Hale, 33, showed no emotion and sat staring at the defense table as the sentence was handed down....

| CHICAGO (AP) - A DNA match from a cigarette butt convinced police that a Chicago electrician was the killer of a federal judge's husband and mother, authorities said. The cigarette butt found in Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow's house was matched to the electrician, Bart Ross, who killed himself during a traffic stop in Wisconsin this week, and the evidence points to him as the lone killer, police spokesman David Bayless said. Ross, whose rambling lawsuit over his cancer treatment was dismissed by Lefkow, had claimed responsibility for the killings in a suicide note found in his minivan. "The DNA match,... |

| A joint federal and local task force is working around the clock on the investigation into the execution-style murders of a federal judge’s husband and mother. CBS 2's Mike Parker reported that Chicago police acknowledge they found a good deal of evidence at the murder scene. Although the slayings appeared to be a classic execution-style hit, the killer or killers did a poor job covering their tracks. Two men with military-style haircuts were spotted outside the North Shore Baptist Church about a block from the Lefkow home on the morning of the murders. They were in a red Ford Escort... |

| CHICAGO (Reuters) - A federal judge who was the target of a death plot by a jailed white supremacist returned to her home on Monday to find two people dead inside, police said. Chicago police spokesman Pat Camden would only say there was a "death investigation" under way and released no names. But the Chicago Tribune on its Web site said the dead were the husband and mother of the U.S. District Court judge, Joan Lefkow, and that their bodies were found lying in blood. Last year a jury convicted Matthew Hale, founder of the "World Church of the Creator,"... |

| Hale DeMar, the Wilmette homeowner who shot and wounded a burglar inside his home last December, was celebrated as a hero by gun-rights groups nationwide. But a look at recently opened police files in the case suggests that DeMar acted more like a vigilante than a hero--that it wasn't necessary for him to shoot the unarmed intruder to defend himself or his children, as he has claimed, and that he all but welcomed the confrontation in his home. |

I happened to observe it, because I was stranded at the old Mission-House in Mackinac, waiting for a Lake Superior steamer which did not choose to come, and I was devouring, to the very stubble, all the current literature I could... |

| LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- A federal judge on Monday upheld the Whitewater fraud conviction of former Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, rejecting his claim that the government withheld information about benefits afforded a key witness. In a telephone interview Monday, Tucker said he wouldn't make a decision to appeal the ruling until after he had reviewed it and sought counsel from his attorney. The decision by U.S. District Judge George Howard Jr. was the latest ruling in the long-running Whitewater saga, the Arkansas land deal that also involved Bill and Hillary Clinton. Tucker's appeal attacked the credibility of David... |
