was announced this afternoon follow

head of the women's law department,
New York University, on a charge of
distributing birth control pamphlets.
A divided court sentenced her to $50
fine or ten days in city prison She
paid the fine under protest and en-
tered an appeal.
Dissenting from the opinion of his
colleagues Judge McEnerny, in spe-
cial sessions, advocated a straight out
woman for violating the law in order
that she might test its constitutional
ity.
This defendant knew the law and
deliberately violated it," he said, so

people know that this court has re-

they want to change it why don't they

her acts.
In two cases of young men, found
guilty of selling birth control pam
phlets and likewise in the Ashley
case, Judge Freschi laid down the
principle that preachment of birth
control as a. propaganda, constitutes
a worse offense than the mere selling
of such information as a solely money
making proposition.
The defense admitted that distribu-
ton. 1t had been intended as a test
and backed by wealthy Rose Pastor
Stokes, the fight will go to the highest
court in the land if necessary.
While the local cases proceeded
Mrs. Ethel Byrne was on trial in
Brooklyn for taking an active part in
Mrs. Margaret Sanger's birth control

invalid and served notice she would

Mrs. Sanger's case went over to
Friday.
