New York, July Assistant District
Attorney Mcintyre, who has been at
the state convention, was at his Office
yesterday for the first time since his
closing address in the trial of Mrs.
Fleming. He said he was not aItogeth-
er surprised at the verdict in the case,
as it was a difficult matter to convict
a woman of a capital crime.
No matter how conscientious q juror
may seem and how clearly he may
state that he has no opposition to the
death penalty in the case of woman"
said Mr.. Mcintyre, ''it has been my ex-
perlence that men will not convict a
woman of q capital offence. We seem
to be living in an age so refined that
there is a revulsion against sending a
