Workers Rayished,
Shot in Wisconsin

TOMAH, Wis, Sept. 9. CUP)-An

thy Baum, 80, both of Kenosha, had
been killed while enroute from Ke-
nosha to Sparta. Their automobile
was stolen.

NO CLOTHING

Coroner John M. Scantleton said
no particles of clothing had been
found in the bullet wounds of either
woman, indicating that they had
been shot while undresSed. Powder
marks indicated that the wounds
were inflicted from close range, he
said.
Miss Baum was shot seven times
in the back, and Miss Pietrangeli
was Shot in the abdomen, the side
and the shoulder, Scantleton said.
Sheriff Hallett T. Jenkins of Mon
roe county believed the crime was
motiyated by more than simple rob-
berry. Besides the rings and watches
that had not been stolen, the sheriff
said that the time element in the
case did not support robbery
theory.
Hallett believed the women had
oeen shot at 6 am. yesterday al
though they left -Kenosha at s pm.
on Monday. 1t is about ITO miles

It was about ten degrees below

through the office window, was
bathing the room a sparkling blue.
And as Miss Smith spoke to me,
her shrewd eyes seemed to drink in
the radiance of the atmosphere.

What is law" l directed this
pointed question at the lady sit
ting across from me whose name
is inscribed in Who's Who as the
only Negro woman attorney in the
Northwest.
"Law is in its general sense, a
rule of action; in a more restricted
Specification, a rule of human con-

subject"
We spoke of the great Jewish
historian and law-giver, Moses. Of
Gellius, Cicero, Caesar, Pliny, and
of Marcus Aurelius, whose rules of
civil law laid down the foundation
for Justinian's work-the Corpus
Juris Civiis.
when did Justinian die, Miss
Smith? About 550?"
"No. To be exact it was 565
A. D."
Speaking of great law-givers,"
said Miss Smith, taking a quick
puff on her cigarette and pointing
the sharp end of a pencil, mine
ingly, at a framed picture of the
Justices of the Supreme Court
hanging on the office wall, mo
greater body of men :"
I looked. AS though under an
anaesthetic my mind wondered
momentarily, yet my thoughts
were sharp and clear. Suddenly,
wildly, a succession of scenes
flashed through my brain. saw
one of the Justices step out of the
picture-take off his black robe
and hand it to someone whose face
was blurred. The blurred faced
figure donned the robe and stepped
into the place of the departing JUS
tice. And 10, and behold, as the
