SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.—The Englishwoman who accused Clark Gable of being the father of her daughter won an appeal yesterday against her conviction of mail fraud on the ground she should have been charged with extortion, if anything. Morris Lavine, attorney for plump | middle-aged Mrs. Violet Wells Norton, predicted the Government would *‘drop the whole matter” as a result of the decision by the Federal Court of Ap- peals. Mrs. Norton was convicted last April 23 on the basis of a letter she al- legedly mailed to the fllm star from Manitoba, Canada, naming him as the father of her 14-year-old daughter Gwendoline. The substance of her defense was that she had made an “honest mistake” in concluding that Gable was “Frank Billings,” an associate of hers in Eng- land in 1922.
