Danced To Pay For Murder Appeal

SELLS TICKETS IN

HOTEL LOBBY

New York, February 5.

SCHOOLTEACHER EDITH MAXWELL, who has twice been sentenced to a long term of imprisonment because she killed her father when he tried to beat her for going to dances, is raising the money for her third appeal in Washington on Friday by herself organising a danco.

4

America's women have come to her aid since the jury öf mountain folk in Virginia decreed that even a modern girl must obey the unwritten law of their country that a man is always right, and the National Woman's Party, a powerful organisation of feminists, are sponsoring Friday's dance to raise the £400 needed for copies of the transcript of her two trials.

Miss Maxwell, dressed in black, is to-day sitting in the lobby of a Washington hotel selling tickets at 12s., 15s., £1, or whatever sympathisers care to pay.

The tickets are selling fast, but the buyers are mostly women. Miss Maxwell's dance may therefore break all records for wallflowers.
