Amilcar CGSS Amilcar CGSS The Amilcar CGSS (or CGSs) was a sporting car made by the Amilcar company from 1926 to 1929. The second "S" stood for surbaisse and the car was a lowered version of the CGS. Isadora Duncan, the American dancer, died in a CGSS when her silk scarf became entangled around the open-spoked wheels. The 1,074 cc four-cylinder engine from the CGS was fitted but in a slightly higher state of tune delivering . It was also available with a Cozette supercharger for those who needed more power. Thus equipped, a CGSS won the 1927 Monte Carlo Rally. Driven
A Jury of Her Peers Minnie used to love to sing and her husband took that away from her. But now finding her bird is dead, with a broken neck (with the implication that the husband killed it) it is evident Mrs. Wright killed her husband. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters use their knowledge and experience as two "midwestern rural women" to understand Mrs. Wright's suffering when the only living thing around her has died. The women find justification in Mrs. Wright’s actions and go about hiding what they find from the men. In the end, their obstruction of evidence will seemingly prevent a conviction.
