ordered to step off the sidewalk by

machine guns.

NEGRO ATTORNEY CAUSES
CONVICTION OF THREE RA-
.PISTS OF COLORED GIRL.

Meadville. Pa, March 17.-One of
the most sensational and interesting
cases ever tried before the bar of
Crawford County has just come to a
close in Judge Prothero's court. In
Titusville on the night of December
IA, 1920, Blanche Brown, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Brown of Wash
ington, Pa, while awaiting train
cinity of the Pennsylvania depot by
three white men, taken to a lot near
the tannery, kept in bondage all
night, and brutally raped by each one
were apprehended, indicted, and the
trial set for Monday February 16.
Through, and by the advice of w. L..
Brown and with the ready consent of
county, the services of Lawyer w. H.
Stanton were secured TO prosecute
this case,
In the history OF Crawford county
never had Colorod attorney appear
ed in any capacity but on the morn
ing of February IS inst, the Mead
vile Morning Tribune announced the
fact that for the first time a Color
ed lawyer would appear. Long before
the hour of convening court hundreds
of students from Allegheny College,
lawyers and doctors and men of the
business world had laid aside their
duties and wended their way through
the picturesque park leading to the
COuI mouse 10 near lnlS case III Wnlcn
Lawyer Stanton was to be pitted
against an eX-district attorney, one
who had always been considered in
vincible and who had never lost a
case. But Stanton, so small in stature
did come, and he did see, and when
he took his seat. after most re-
markablee plea of two hours, three
mon had been convicted ard were
practically on their way to the PEN
itentiary,
All of the city of Meadville was
on the alert, and as Stanton left the
courthouse the lawyers rushed to con-
gratulate him. the millionuires stopp-
ed their automobiles to grasp his
hand and congratulate him, women
sex, with tears in their eyes. thank
ed him, and men and women of his
own race fully realized that Lawyer

Pennsylvania, for 1t was indeed a
Napoleon" standing alone and un-
aided in this courtroom, cross-ques-
tioning, obiecting and contradicting,
all against one of the brainIesG law
ycrs in Pennsylvania.
1t is conceded here that the judge
was exceptionally fair, for every OBJ
lection made by Stanton was sus-
tained, and the charge to the jury
in describing rape and the attendant
punishment for same was fair and
rendered without favor. Merit on the
part of Stanton won the case for the
little thirteen -year-old Colored girls
life, for good, has been saved, and

her are behind the prison bars and So
