CRAWFORD FIGHTS
TO STAY IN PRISON.
Don't Want Appeal, Says
LITER, Defending Lawyer
in Murder Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March IA COL
ored man who said he was satisfied
to spend the rest of his life in prison
'if they'll just let me alone" yester-
day came to the defense of the lawyer
who defended him in the trial for
his life on charges of numbering a
Virginia society matron.
The prisoner was George Crawford,
convicted of numbering Mrs. Agnes
Boeing nsley. and given life SEN
tence. Another life sentence was
added when he pleaded guilty to
numbering the IlSley maid, Nina
Buckner. The women were muir
dered in December, 1882.
The lawyer was DR.. Charles H.
Houston, colored, dean of Howard
University Law School, Washington,
who yesterday sought to answer,
through Crawford. severe criticism of
his handling the case by Misses Mar
tha Gruening and Helen Boardman
in an article published in a current
magazine Houston was retained for
the defense by the National ASSoci-
alton for the Advancement of Colored
People.
Points Under Criticism.
The criticism was based primarily
upon the failure of the defense to
offer alibi testimony in the trial. but
added, also, criticism of failure to
appeal from the decision.
At the State penitentiary today
Crawford said Il am satisfied with
what DR.. Houston did for me. I am
satisfied with the trial. I am salts
fled with the sentence. I am satisfied
to stay here the rest of my life, if
they'll just let me alone. I am tired
of seeing my name in the papers and
! am tired of talking to people about
the case If I am satisfied I don't
see why the devil other people don't
let me alone.
II would have liked to have had
those people from Boston here (the
alibi witnesses referred to in the
criticism of Houston). If I had had
some alibi witnesses could have
matched life for life
Boston Alibi Evidence.
Houston, who was present at the
interview given to a half a dozen
newspaper reporters, said the alibi
that Crawford was in Boston at the
time of the murders in Middleburg
Va, was brought out in Boston, where
Crawford was arrested a year after
the murders and before Houston en-
tered the case.
I'VE thoroughly checked the alibi
later and found it would not stand
up in the face of the States evi-
dence," said Houston, "and we aban-
doned it,"
The criticism of Houston alleged
little if any effort was made to get
the Boston alibi witnesses to the trial
in Leesburg, Va, and Houston's an
swer was that some of them we're
interviewed and others were missed
through a misunderstanding as to a
meeting place.
Il don't want the case reopened
and told DR.. Houston didn't want
him to appeal" said Crawford as he
appeared at the interview.
