"a good wife? Oh, don't Lilith,

"Mr. Ross has begged for an

the man jumped to his feet.

Just stop. You are the sweet

The girl settled back in her

complexion good, denoting ex-
celIent health, but aside from her
sweet expression she could lay
no claims to beauty. IT alone.

The sobbing ocean hugs the silence Of

manned
The sails Of Life. or furled them in

His quest was Peace, and yet no
ruthless pirate band
But knew his power: and burdened

with prayer that Truth an0Light, for
which his strength was given.

And the elements within him did 60

Still facing on he saw a brighter morn

And calmly smiled: as gently did the

New York Judge Assigns Miss
Pugh to Defend Negro
Charged With Murder
CASE ATTRACTS MUCH
ATTENTION IN GOTHAM

This Said to BE First Case in Legal
History of Country Where Woman
Lawyer Has Been Assigned as Chief
Counsel TO Defend Prisoner on Trial
for Murdcr-Miss Lucille Pugh is
From This State and the Negro n
is TO Defend is Said to Also Hail
From North Carolina.
Especial to News md O~bserver.)
New York, March 30.-For the first
time. SO far as is known in the legal
history of the country, a woman law
yer today was assigned as chief coun-
sci TO defend a prisoner or
murder. The attorney is Miss Lucille
Pugh more thar ordinarily good look
ing, and a member of the exclusive
Pugh family Of North Carolina. The
person she will defend is Leroy
Poindexter, a negro who was arrested
for shooting to death Thomas Brown,
"a white man, on March !, after a dis
pute growing out of a crap game.
Poindexter also came from North
Carolina, where it is said he once
worked for the Pugh family.
When arraigned before Judge
Swami, in General Sessions, today,
PoindeXter pleaded not guilty and an
nounced hat he had no none to
employ counsel. Judge Swami sent
for Miss Pugh and asked if she would
undertake the caSe. She consented,
and was formally assigned, the as
signment carrying with it a fee Of
$500 from the State. She then for
mally entered the plea Of not guilty.
Handsome Suffragette.
Miss Pugh is an ardent ~suffragette,
and her good looks created somewhat
a sensation when she came into court.
She affects a somewhat manniSh style
OF attire, wearing a swallowtail coat
and a derby. PoindeXter seemed
greatly pleased over the action Of
the court. and whispered to the at
tendant who had him in charge that
il his lawyer could not get him ac-
quilted he deserved to be electro
cuted.'
Miss Pugh attracted attention last
summer when, while seated in one
OF the parts Of the Supreme Court

This dwelling on minor aspects of the
SITUATION is that the mayor is totally
blind TO the great and sensational
thing that reduces all h things
which he dwells on as grievances, to
utter insisniicance. That is that the
chief city of the land has reached a
stage where the criminal classes can
select one of the most public places
in the city, AT Il tim when ~ Is
crowded with people and with police
officers within a short distance on
every side. for the commission of a
theatrically displayed murder. That
Rosenthal's moral character was de-
1icient is beyond denial. Eut if every
man of weak moral record is to be
wiped out by gun mon" the census
of our cities will undergo drastic re-
vision.
The features of the case which
..o, oil tJ, CanGafJnn2hSn1 or
which Mayor Caynor accuses the
press is that the criminal element is
so absolutely without fear of the law
that it does not deem it necessary to
use secrecy for it's murders. Indeed.
the killing of Rosenthal was perpe-
trated in a way to show the intention
to strike terrorism into the public. If
this does not argue completely on the
par, of some of the police 1t certainly
proves incompetence.
