TO THE HUsTINGs COURT:

AS the petition of H. w. Op-
penhimer, attorney at law, for
permission to reopen the case of
Susie Boyd and the determination
of Judge Mathews to take the
petition under advisement consti-
tute together renewed pendency
OF the case, this newspaper will
not place itself in the position of
being guilty even Of technical con-
tempt-although it has not the
slightest fear of proceedings on
that count.
But 1T respectfully asks leave
of the Honorable w. Kirk Mathews,
Judge Of the Hastings Court of the
City of Richmond, to join, as
"amicus curiae," in the petition of
II. w. Oppenhimer, an officer of the
Hastings Court, that the case of
Susie Boyd be reopened, that she be
allowed to plead again and through
her counsel, and that she be put on
trial before jury in the Hastings
Court.
1t is respectfully submitted to the
Hastings Court of the City of Rich
mond that after-discovered circum-
stances, as well as fter-discovered
evidence, may well constitute suf-
ficient cause to impel the Judge of
ithe Hastings Court to exercise that
sound discretion which lodges in his
breast.
1t is respectfully submitted that
the circumstances in this case which
lead the Times-Dispatch to join in
the petition of Mr.. Oppenhimer are
these: That the convicted woman
was without counsel during the
hearing Of her case, without fault
on the part of her counsel or on her
own part; that she was not tried by
a jury, as was her right, because,
while it is not questioned that the
judge and the Commonwealth's At
torney informed her of her rights,
it is gravely doubted if she under
stood the full meaning of the in
formation thus impaired to her;
that if she had been represented by
counsel, she, through, him, would
have asked for trial by jury; that
in all probability the jury, taking
into account the accused woman's
status in life and lack of education,
would have imposed a lighter SEN
tence which would, at the same

time, have served the ends of jus
tice.
For these reasons, which, it is al
legged, are equivalent to after-dis-
covered circumstances, the Times
Dispatch, as friend of the court,
respectfully asks leave to join in
the petition submitted by II. w.
Oppenhimer, of the Richmond Bar,
that the Honorable Judge of the
Hastings Court of the City of Rich
mond reopen the case of Susie Boyd
and permit Mr.. Oppenhimer, as her
counsel, to file such plea as to him
may seem fit.-Times-D Dispatch,

RAY EECPEN CASE OF NEGRO
WOMAN.
Given Thirty Years on Forgery
Charges-Counsel Files
Petition.

A petition for permission to re-
open the case of Susie Boyd, ne
gress, who was sentenced to thirty
years in the penitentiary after
pleading guilty in Hastings Court
last Wednesday to three indictments
charging forgery was presented to
Judge w. Kirk Mathews, of Hus-
tings Court, today by HI. w. OPP
peEheimer, as attorney for the wom-
an. The matter was taken under
advisement by the court.
Supporting Mr.. Oppenheimer in
making the petition was T. L. Pres
ton, who represented the bank on
which the woman is alleged to have
forged twenty-five checks, when the
case was called in police court.
The woman was not represented
in court by an attorney on the
day of her trial, Mr.. Oppenheimer
brought out in a hree-and-a-quarter
which sent him to police court that
Hastings Court, where she was tried.
Is Mother of Infant.
Mr.. Oppenheimer also brought out
that the woman is the sole support
of her 6-months-old infant, and that
this is the first time to his knowl-
edge that she has ever been arrest
ed or convicted of any offense.
That the case be reopened and
the woman be allowed to plead not
guilty before jury and that the
sentence be suspended was the re-
quest of Mr.. Oppenheimer.
The petition states "the three
checks upon which the sentences of
ten years each were imposed were
for the "sums of $12, SO and SO
and that the aggregate amount of
all the checks which the accused
was alleged to have forged was
$183."
Considerable discussion arose
from passage of the petition which
said that "the judge of the court
asked her if she had a lawyer to
defend her and she told him she had
no lawyer, as she did not see Mr..
Oppenheimer."
Judge Mathews and Common
wealth's Attorney Satterfield both
denied that the question was eked
or that the woman mentioned the
absence of lawyer.

IT can't stand it," she said to her

If he became another person when he

down by the open window with her
face to the night and thought long
and deeply of Steve, good, plain
Steve, who could pour out his sould to
Ruth when his lips were dumb in her
presence. Dad had written reamsy to
mother. but Fred. gay, handsome,
talkative Fred, had nothing to say
when he was away from her, and
should have desired to say much. 1t
was not the stereotyped phrases ever
recurring. it was the fact that writ
ing hurriedly he did not tell her that
he loved her or missed her or needed
her. At his first written word he be-
came a stranger-an undesirable ac
quaintance. She bowed her head on
the window sill and Wept.
Weeping, she did not hear the door
open or the soft footstep behind her.
Not until her mother knelt down be-
side her and drew her into her arms
did she realize that she was not to
bear her trouble alone.
On that warm shoulder, with that
loving cheek pressed to hers. she
poured out the story of her heart
and her mother understood.

There was a moments silence and

thing that ever happened to you"
Mother! What do you mean?"
Don't you see? Fred's letters have
revealed him to you as he is. We

time. We didn't need to be convinced
through his letters as you have been.

will now consider somebody else who
has loved you long time. You know
who l mean. Mary. Steve's brother
