Dubin, attorney-at-law, will be counsel for the accused when the case comes to triaLlhis month in Queens County. A woman will defend a woman charged with killing a woman. It seems like the last cry of mod ernity instead of the choked appeal of a woman- sodden with grief and terror over a dreaded fate. But Mrs. Massiella is not a "mod ern" woman. She came to this land many years ago. She Bpeaks another tongue. Her life has been one of sac rifice and illness. She Is th ti0,. of Jive.

"My awocat-avvocat!" she cried, and passionately kissed the hand of the quiet young woman who will present her case before those who have the power to condemn the mother of five to give up her life. Mrs. Massiella speaks but a few words of English.
