Both Mcmillan and Peters sug.

that IS miles an hour is too fast
to travel on crowded intersections

In addition, the city officials
could appear before the highway

trial that attracted unusual atten-

Stokes represented the defendant,
Frank ]. Jones 3S who was charg-
ed with murder in the first degree
for the Staying of Sampson B.
Wade 81. at 1463-2Oth Ave, last
May Is.
Prim, dynamic and brilliant, de-
manded the death penalty for the
State, while Stokes, quiet-spoken,
cool and calm, displayed both ell
oquence and logic in pointing out
to the jury that the States case
was too weak to think of such a
penalty, that it was merely a
bitter fight between two men in
which God willed that one should
live and the other should die.
The jury of ten men and two
women, nine white and three col
ored, after deliberating for five
hours, returned a verdict of man
slaughter. the minimum punish
ment within the law. Colored peo-
ple on the Jury were, Mrs. Eliza
