for an Emily Post on murder ETH
quette.
They Know Men


Whatever the verdict is, 1t
should be the same for both" is
the unanimous decision. "She
may get off with less because
she's a woman, but she's really
worse than he is. for it was her
husband they killed, and he was
a stranger to Gray. Besides, she
probably goaded him on-you
know how men are; like to show
off-weak and ready to do any
thing for a woman"
This strikes an interesting
note. Men on jury generously
make allowance for q woman's
weakness, both physical and
moral; she is unduly influenced,
led astray by some man, really
not responSible-poor little wom-
an And now women are ready
to extend the same courtesy to
men; after all they're mere
babes, just putty in the hands of
a woman; especially a blonde.
It's evident with woman jury
Ruth Snyder would be tried not
for just murder, but for adultery.
Sob Factors Fail
Even the two children, Jane
Gray and Lorraine Snyder, count
ed on to be excellent sob ma.
terial for the defense, arouse
women's wrath against the STAY
ers.
They should have thought of
the children before they commit
ted the crime" is the concise
and swift comment. Besides,
theyn be better of without such
parents"
And Gray's mother, who came
to court the opening day and sat
just five feet away from her
sons partner in crime causes
even more savage comment: IF
I'd been her." said one woman,
"I'd have torn Ruth Snyder to
pieces!"
Super-NormaI
Sisters under the skin" Kip
ling may have been right, but it's
sisters in tendencies rather than
in sympathy. One can under
stand Ruth Snyder better after
talking with other women. She
is not abnormal, but super-nor-
NAL, monstrosity because she
combines dangerously and in ex-
cess the most lovely traits of her
sex-coldness, selfshness and a
certain brutal savagery.
Yes, women on the jury would
certainly do much to remove the
present curse of sentimentality.
There's only one objection-jur-
ors must have open minds and so
far not one single woman we
talked to had an opinion that
could be changed by anything
less than a fifty-pound sledge-
hammer or perhaps a ten.ton
truck.
But even at that, it would save
the State time and money, for
with women on the jury, there'd
be no need for trial at all!
