CITIZENESS GLUSMAN
RUSSIAN WOMAN JUDGE IMPOSES DEATH SENTENCE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 23. The ‘ Daily Express’s’ Moscow correspondent says that a pretty bobbedhaired woman in the early twenties acted as the presiding judge at a sensational criminal trial m the Moscow District Court. She sentenced to death seven men who were convicted of robbery with violence. She is a citizeness named _ Anna Glusman, who attracted the attention of the Commissariat of Justice by her shrewd decisions in the Ukrainian courts, and she was invited to come to Moscow. The prisoners were a gang of highwaymen. When they faced the girl judge they boldly admitted their guilt, but the girl, assuming a stern countenance, delivered the sentence with a full assurance which the lawyers present said would have done credit to any judge.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
