Sounding like a story line out of an Alanis Morissette song, Eleftherios Venizelos, a Greek hero, was elected as the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament by his colleagues only to go on and have a heart attack that day during the parliamentary session. He'd serve in the position for only six days, but would live until 1936.
Walter P. Chrysler introduced his first car, the Chrysler Six Model B-70.
Celia Cooney, age 19, commenced her criminal career with the robbery of the Thomas Ralston Grocery store in Brooklyn. Her husband, Ed Cooney, drove the getaway car.
Their criminal career ended in April when they were caught. Ed Cooney lost an arm due to an injury while in prison and recovered $12,000 against the State of New York in 1931 as a result. The same year they were released. He died in 1936 of tuberculosis, and she remarried in 1943. She passed away in 1992.
