Body Fail to Move Annie
Crawford


Crawford
Twenty minutes before time
for court to open Monday morn.
ing in the Annie Crawford MUIR
der trial, in New Orleans, the
court room was tilled--with men.
Not only that, it was filed with
young men. One might well
have lnarveled over the almost
total absense Of women, and over
the scarcity of gray heads.
1t is one of the most wonderful
things connected with this extra.
ordinary case. that the chief
actor in it seems to be entirely
deserted by her own sex;
that two of the principal wit.
nesses against her are members
of her own family, and women;
and that day after day she sits
alone at the bar, cut off from all
womanhood. 1t would be very
pathetic, indeed, if she seemed
to feel her neutrality-suspicious. it
is all the more pathetic that she
does not seem to feel it.
From the very moment the
trial opened it was a battle of
giants. BY the side of
the accused girl were Lionel
Adams and MIR. Generally, watch.
ing every point. fighting for
every inch of the ground. On
the side of the prosecution was
~. Clair Adams, the District At.
~. alert and keen. In the
AIR was DR.. Metz, un-
frpss examination-an
expert toxicoIogist, who knew
what he meant to say and said it.
And t0r hours the battle ragged,
and question and answer flew
back and forth; and there sat the
something that might have been
a woman, 80 shrouded in black
that not even the outlines of
her face could be seen; silent,
lnUtiOnless, not to be moved by
any emotion, no r'atter of what
kind.
And before the day was over
there was room for emotion. |
When the sensation of the day
was sprung, that Sunday morn
ing the grave Ut poor little Elise
Crawford had been opened again;
that group composed of the !
coroner and his assistants and a
earned patholoyist had once
