DID NOT PLEAD
MaSsillon Murderess In
Court.

Sarah Robinson, who is under in
dictment for numbering Walter Nc
Nair, the colored saloonkeeper at
Massillon, was brought into court
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock for ar
raignment. Deputy Sheriff Harvey
Zaizer had her in charge.
Judge Amber appointed Dan w.
Shelter and A. M. McCarty as coun-
sci for the accused, and as Mr. Shelter
was absent from the city Sarah con-
cluded that she would not enter a
plea until his return. Mr.. Shelter had
been selected by the prisoner and she
had been in consultation with him
previous to his appointment by the
court
. When the woman appeared in court
she was cool and collected, showing
no signs of embarrassment or fear. At
ter counsel had been appointed she re-
turned to her cell. .gm
It is understood that she will make
a hard fight to have the degree of the
crime modified. She has been irdict-
ed for murder in the first degree.
which carries with it the other counts
of second degree murder and man
slaughter,
Sarah Robinson's claim will be that
she had provocation and was goaded
to the crime by bad treatment and
jealously for which her victim was re-
sponsible. She shows little or no re-
morse, seeming to think that McNair
deserved his fate.
The attorneys intimate that when
the trial comes up there will be some
revelations which will tend to turn
public sentiment in favor of the ac.
cused.
The prisoner will be arraigned later
| in the week, after Mr.. Shelter returns
from Oklahoma, whittier he has gone
upon legal business.
