CRAWFORD DENIED
HIGH COURT PLEA
Review of Extradition Case
Refused and Prisoner to
Face Virginia Jury.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
George Crawford, colored, indicted for
the murder Of Mrs. Agnes B. 1lsley,
wealthy sportswoman, and her maid,
Nina Buchner, at Middleburg, Va, In
January, 1881, today was denied q re-
view by the Supreme Court in his fight
to prevent extradition from Boston to
Virginia for trial.
As a consequence, Crawford must be
returned to Virginia to face trial.
This Is the case in which a resolu-
ton for the impeachment Of Federal
Judge Lowell was introduced in the
House Of Representatives after his order
directing the release of Crawford and
refusing to order his extradition to
Virginia.
Judge Under Investigation.
The resolution was adopted by the
House, and its Judiciary Committee il
conducting an investigation into Judge
Lowells official conduct.
Judge Lowell acted on the ground
that Negroes did not serve on grand
juries in Virginia, inferring that Craw
ford would be denied his constitutional
rights if delivered to that State for
trial. The resolution Is still pending.
A murder indictment was returned
against Crawford and he was appre-
hended In Boston. In January. 1888
the Governor of Virginia asked his ex-
tradition and in February the Governor
Of Massachusetts,, after a hearing. Or
dered him delivered to the Virginia
authorities.
Counsel for Crawford promptly began
habeaS corpus proceedings, contending
his return to Virginia would deprive
him of constitutional rights. It was
brought out that while the laws Of Vir-
ginia make no discrimination against
Negroes for jury duty. 1t was the prac-
tice of the Loudoun County judge des-
ignated to select grand jurors to refuse
to permit Negroes to serve on that jury
Indictment Ruled Void.
Judge Lowell ruled the indictment
returned by a grand jury from which
Negroes had been excluded was voie
and ordered the discharge Of Crawford
The first Circuit Court of Appeals re-
versed Judge Lowell. holding in effect
the constitutional questions in the writ
for habeas corpus had been prematurely
raised; that Crawford would have an
opportunity to assert his constitutional
rights when brought to trial In the
Virginia courts, and should the decision
there be against him could petition the
United States Supreme Court for a
review
Should the high court decline to
grant him a review, he would have
the right, it added, to apply to the Fed
eral courts in Virginia by habeaS corpus
proceedings, and thus fully protect his
rights.
In reversing Judge Lowell the ap-
pellate court ordered Crawford be de-
livered to the proper authorities fol
extradition to Virginia.

CHARM OF HEALTH is IMPLIED
IN WOMEN'S CURVES, EXPERT SAYS

Some of these voluntary diets. he
pointed out, have been as harmful to
the health of the Nation as the in
voluntary diets bringing malnutrition to
people on depression charity lists. Such
diets "have caused the digestive organs
to change so that they would not as
simulate food needed for maintaining
healthy bodies" DR.. Brooks explained.
"Of course" he warned prospective
adherents to his doctrine, women
would have to guard against obesity,
which would be as bad as the other
extreme"
For six days the medical assembly
will be for approximately 5000 physi-
clans and surgeons what officials des-
cribe as ''the most intensive post
