FAMOUS EVENTS
Anne Boleyn beheaded (1536).
First department store opens (1848).
First conviction based on fingerprint evidence (1911).
Death of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1994).
T.E. Lawrence, known to the world as Lawrence of Arabia, dies as a retired Royal Air Force mechanic living under an assumed name. The legendary war hero, author, and archaeological scholar succumbed to injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident six days before (1935).
A massive Spanish fleet, known as the "Invincible Armada," sets sail from Lisbon on a mission to secure control of the English Channel and transport a Spanish invasion army to Britain from the Netherlands (1588).
King George II of England grants the Ohio Company a charter of several hundred thousand acres of land around the forks of the Ohio River, thereby promoting westward settlement by American colonists from Virginia. France had claimed the entire Ohio River Valley in the previous century, but English fur traders and settlers contested these claims. The royal chartering of the Ohio Company, an organization founded primarily by Virginian planters in 1747, directly challenged the French claim to Ohio and was a direct cause of the outbreak of the French and Indian War in 1754 (1749).
Disc jockey and TV personality Alan Freed, who coined the term "rock 'n' roll," is arrested along with seven other people on suspicion of commercial bribery. Freed had refused to sign an affidavit in 1959 denying he had accepted payola, which was not against the law at that time. He was charged with 26 counts of commercial bribery but got off with a fine (1960).
Gangster film Scarface: The Shame of a Nation opens at the Rialto Theater in Los Angeles. The film's subtitle was added as a concession to the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, better known as the Hays office, which controlled the content of movies until the late 1960s. The association's Production Code had decreed that audiences should not be asked to sympathize with villains. The movie was remade (without the subtitle) in 1983 starring Al Pacino (1932).
