SAFER FOR WOMEN TO
KILL THAN TO STEAL
ChiCaro Statistics Show That Only
One Has Been Convicted in
Last Twelve Years.
CASES VIGOROUSLY PUSHED

Clarcs II is Impossible 10
Obtain Conviction.

CHICAGO May 4.--Statistics
show It is safer for woman to Kill
in Chicago than to steal dollar
worth of merchandise or gamble.
Twenty-six of the q women
brought to trial on charges of muir
der in this city in the last II years
have been acquitted by Cook coun-
ty iuries. while the records shO"
that about Is per cent of the WON
en- tried for larceny and other mis-
aemeano.s have been convicted.
IN addition to this score or
more women charged with assault
with a deadly weapon have escaped
punishment.
The onlv women found guilty OF
murder in this period was Mrs. Nir'
ginia Proups. who was convicted oil
killing her husband, w. ID, Troupe
several years ago, and sentenced tt
II years Imprisonment.
In large majority of the cases
the defendants confessed, but plead
ed extenuating circumstances. MOS
OF the killings grew out of domestic
disputes, the women pleading 1ustl'
fication on the ground that theS
had been neglected or cruelty
treated. Selt-defense was the plea

Cases Vigorously Prosecuted.
Every one of the cases has beer
vigorously prosecuted by the stat'
but without success. In several IN
stances the jury was even urged e
inflict the death penalty because th'
act seemed premeditated and lack
ing in extenuating circumstances.
In view of this record unusual in
terest is being manifested by th'
public in the case Of Ruby Dean. a
pretty cabaret singer, on trial in th'
criminal court charged with th'
murder OF Dr.. Leon Quitman. Grim
