Evening star., 1940-03-10

Calvert at the time of his death,
a matter both involved and diff
cult, as the Governor had left many
debts and few assets. We know
little about the private life OF
Margaret Brent, but we are told that
her settling of the Calvert estate
was not pleasing to his heirs, as
she had much of his property sold
in order to pay his debts. In later
years she moved from Maryland
to Virginia, where she died in 1911.
Although it is obvious that Mar
garet Brent was a lawyer of sorts,
she participated in legal matters
during time when such things as
bar examinations and law degrees
were not strictly required on the
new continent.
AS far as can be ascertained, Myra
Bradwell was the first woman ad-
mitted to practice law in any of the
States. She was admitted to the Ili-
nols bar in 1869, at a time when
other States would never have con-
sidered such a thing.
One of the most famous pioneers
among the women lawyers of this
country was Belva Lockwood, who,
in order to enter a university to
study law, was obliged to diguise
herself as man. When her identity
was discovered by university au-
thorities several months after her
Evening star., 1940-03-10

entrance, they attempted to force
her expulsion. Belva threatened a
law suit, and was then permitted to
graduate. She was admitted to the
bar of the District of Columbia in
1873, and later was admitted as the
first woman to practice before the
Supreme Court. Her practice before
the District and Federal bars, how
ever, did not prevent her being pro-
hibited from practicing in Virginia,
where, as late as 1894, she was re-
fused admission to the bar.
1t was Belva Lockwood's difficult
ties, experienced in climbing the
ladder of legal success, which caused
her to champion equal rights for
women. 1t was she who succeeded
in obtaining passage of the law
which gives equal pay for equal work
to women Federal workers. She was
the only woman ever named as
candidate for President of the
United States. In 1888, she was
nominated for the office by the Equal
Rights Party.
Although it is not much more than
a half-century that women have
actively participated in the practice
of law, much has been accomplish
ed by them in securing enactment
of laws beneficial to both men and
women. Passage by Congress Of the
Diploma Mill Bill" which has pro-
Evening star., 1940-03-10

Afrania "got herself very much
talked about" for many mean
things we're said about her at the
time of her death, about 48 B. c.
This is not surprising when one
reads that Ulpian, who was con-
sidered an authority on such mat
ters, declared that women were
not allowed to prosecute on behalf
of others because it was not in
harmony with the modesty becom-
ing the sex to mix themselves up
with other peoples affairs and as
sumo functions appropriate to men" ."
There you have it! 1t was unseem-
ly and immodest for women to mix
themselves up in such matters, and
that idea continued almost until
the dawn of the present century.
The first record of any woman
actively engaging in legal matters
in this country is that of Margaret
Brent, who, with her sister Mary
and her two brothers, Giles and
Fulke, settled in st. Marys County,
Md, in 1888. She was given power
of attorney by her brother and
personally settled many matters
of law for him. Her name ap-
pears in the records of judicial and
testamentary business of the Mary
land Provincial Court not less than
124 times. She was named sole
executrix of the estate of Leonard

tected thousands of innocent men
and women from the malpractice
of frauds and fake professional
people, was effected by a woman,
Miss Pearl Mccall, for many years
assistant United States attorney for
the District, who worked on the case
for more than five years Miss Nc
Call also was instrumental in effect
ing passage of other beneficial laws,
such as the Firearms Bill. aimed to
prevent promiscuous sale of firearms
to irresponsible persons, and the
New Parole Bill" which provides
many improvements in the handling
of paroled prisoners, the rehabili-
tation of ex-prisoners and proper
medical and psychiatric treatment
of prisoners before confinement in
prisons or reformatories
According to Miss Mccall, one of
the most beneficial laws enacted in
recent years has been the Jury Bill"
which provides equal service upon
juries by both men and women. Mrs.
Rebekah Greathouse, for many years
an assistant United States attorney
here, agrees with Miss Mccall that
the service of women jurors has
been highly advantageous and has
aided greatly in efecting the aims Of
justice.
At one time, Mrs. Greathouse was

make the circulars about them
complete-the description of their
dental work. their optical prescrip-
tions, the number on Roy's watch
samples of their handwriting, the
kinds of books they liked to read
the songs they sang, etc. ,-~
The inspectors had one lucky
break to start with. In the pocket
of a pair of overalls discarded at
the holdup scene they found a reg
lstered mail receipt, which led to
the Identification of the bandits as
the De Autremont brothers.
But it seemed they had COM
pletely disappeared off the face of
the earth. After two years of un-
successful searching for them the
manhunt was turned over to the
bull dog Of the inspection serv-
ice, Inspector Tennyson Jefferson.
He devoted his whole time to
the case for the next two years
with plenty of help from other in
spectors. He travelled more than
100000 miles, back and forth across
the country, running down false
leads" In one month, he spent
Is nights on Pullman sleepers.
The circulars finally caught the
trio, with help from the newspapers.
An Army corporal recognized the
picture of Hugh on a circular in the

The six bandits became confused
in the dark after they had stopped
the mail train, he recalled, and
thought for a moment that the po-
lice had trapped them. Wylie-one
of four Newton brothers in the
gang-pointed his rifle at Glasscock
with command to stick 'em up,"
mistaking him for an officer.

The large number of lawyers, in
addition to the judges, who at
tended the annual banquet of the
Women's Bar Association of the
District last night at the Mayfower
Hotel is strong contrast to the
dearth of feminine names among
the laWgivers and lawmakers of
history.
In the Nations Capital alone, the
Womens Bar Association records
approximately 300 "ladies-in-law"

The judicial profession is one of

believed impossible for a woman,
and Amaesia was looked upon as a
sort of superwoman, gaining for her
self the title Man Woman"
Valerius also mentions another
woman who actively participated in
court functions some time during
the first century B. C. This woman,
Afrania, did not cover herself with
glory. however, as did Amaesia, but
gained a very undesirable repu-
tation. Afrania, who was the wife
of a Roman Senator, apparently
had a publicity complex, for it ap-
pears she delighted in getting up
her own lawsuits and pleading
her cause personally before the
praetor-not because she could not
procure advocates, but, as the writer
states, because she had an over
supply of impudence." Apparently,
