WOMAN PLEADS TO JURY
Miss Pugh Fights for Life of
Negro Accused of Murder.
FEELS KINDLY TOWARD RACE
Woman Lawyer Recalls Her Own
odd Black Mammy"-Calls
Prisoner Boy"

MISS Lucille Pugh, who with State Sena-
tor James d. McCleland is defending
Leroy Poindexter, negro on trial for
murder, before Justice Davis, In the Crimi-
nal Branch Of the Supreme Court. outlined
her case for the jury yesterday morning
and called her last witness in the after
noon. a few witnesses will be called In
reouttal this morning by Frank Moss and
John NJ Minton, ir.. the Assistant District
Attorneys. and after both sides have
summed up the case will go TO the jury.
After telling the jury that she intended
TO show that this boy" her client, had
killed Thomas Brown, the negro Of whose
murder no is accused. in self-defence, Miss
Pugh told the jury that she was in cour.
az lawyer, not as a woman, and told
how she came to defend Baby" Poindex-
ter
Gentlemen OF the jury" she said, lin
examining you as talesmen the District At
torney, asked If it would make any differ
ence to you that this boy was defended BY
woman. ] ask you not to let II. ] want
you to forget that am a woman I want
you to give ME no more consideration than
you give Mr.. loss, but I want you to give
me as much. / am here as a lawyer, not
as a woman.
When this boy" she patted the shoulder
of the big negro as sac spoke requested
the court 10 assign me as his counsel felt
constrained'to appear. / cannot forget tho
days when my own old black nanny took
care Of me. and | have a feeling Of ten
derness for all of that race
Poindexter was HE own chief witness.
He retod the story of the crap game, and
OF Browns forcing him to give back TO
him the money Brown had lost, and said
that when he returned that night Brown
rushed at him with q razor so that in self
defence he shot. Miss Pugh took a leather
case from the table and smilingly took a
razor from It. Still smiling she opened the
razor deity and handed it to Polndexter.
Is that the razor" she asked.
III that aln't the one" said Poindexter,
1T was one mighty like It,"
Some Of the Jurors smiled I'm sympathy
with Miss Pugh. for they felt that her
play with the razor was for the purpose OF
r. huking those who lad commented the
previous day on the fact that she did not
handle any OF the grsly bits OF evidence
by the District Attorney.
Poindexter was far from glib In his recital
and frequently gave monosyllablc answers
TO leading questions. Miss Pugh was al
lowed to lead him without hindrance until
his story got to the actual shooting. Then
Mr. Mosss objection was upheld. After
that Pondexter lmped painfully. Once or
twice Miss Pugh essayed 10 lead him.
Don't ask him questions which suggest
the answer" warned Justice Davis. and
Miss Pugh desisted
state Senator McCleland will sum up for
the defence to-day and Mr.. Moss VIII sum-
Marie his case. It is expected that ver-
dict will be reached early IN the afternoon.
