woman Is white, there is strong pre-
sumption under the law that she did
not yield to the advances of a Negro"

Samuel S. Leibowitz. New York chief
Of defense counsel, accused Mrs.
Victoria Price of framing this rape
story" charging in his closing argu-
ment that she "concocted this tale

question her about what she and
Ruby Bates were doing on that train,
and what they had been doing IN

eral, Thomas S. Lawson, asked death
Tor Norris as "a warning to other
rapists and a protection for the
vomanhood of this State"

identified Norris from the witness
stand as one Of the youths she said
attacked her.
Norris was the first Of nine to face

ness at the first trial, but later re-
pud1ated her story as frame up"
