The Paraguayan Civil War ended former President Manuel Gondra and his supporters, the Gondraists, entering the capital. It was the second Paraguayan civil war in a decade, with the leaders of opposite sides in the 1922-23 conflict having been on the same side in the 1911 conflict. A Third Paraguayan Civil War would be fought in 1947.
The Paraguayan military had been split by the conflict, with various units on either side.
The Curia Julia, the seat of the Roman Senate, was purchased by the Italian government.
Marguerite Ailibert, originally a prostitute and later a French courtesan, who had a wartime affair with Prince Edward, Prince of Wales and later king, shot and killed her husband Ali Kamel Fahmy Bey. They were vacationing in London. They'd been married six months. It was her second marriage.
Defended by Edward Marshall Hall she was found innocent of murder. She died in Paris in 1971 at age 80.
There are probably a pile of lessons in Ailibert's story, one of which is that the fame of lawyers, and Hall was famous, doesn't survive their own era as a rule. Ailibert was an attrative woman, and skilled in her craft obviously, which serves as a warning in and of itself.
President Harding visited Juneau. Based on a photo of his visit, it was rainy.
