JUDGE MADGE TAGGART Uses feminine touch. Woman Judge Finds Sympathy Pays Off By DICK WI1ALEN BUFFALO, N.Y. W) The defendant, unshaven and ragged, was charged with vagrancy. He stood before the city judge, a woman, who frowned and flapped the folds of her black robe as she asked: "Have you ever been before me prior to today?" "No, ma'am," he answered, "but I heard there was a woman judge in these parts and I also heard she was pretty nice." Judge Madge Taggart smiled. "Suspended sentence," she said.

"I'll show you that women are really suspectible to flattery." The frank rejoinder from the bench has become a trademark of Judge Taggart, the first woman ever elected to city court in Buffalo, a city of over half a million. "I suppose I'll get in trouble for It someday," she says. "I try to be honest and impartial; but some things, well, they just strike me a certain way and I' say what I think. They don't affect my decisions, though." The attendants at city court are quick to express their respect and admiration for her. They say she handles cases with painstaking thoroughness.

When the occasion arises, she spea-ks her mind.

Judge Taggart scolded: "You're not a man; you're a cry baby. Here you are at the age of 32 and you can't take care of your family.

You're healthy aren't you? It wouldn't be because you drink too much, would it?" The attractive judge has only one complaint: "Every day I take home a headful of other people's troubles." Does it bother her? "Sure, it affects me. If it didn't affect me, I probably shouldn't be on the bench. Hearing case after case muggings, robberies, fights, domestic quarrels I'd go crazy if I wouldn't look back and see where a little understanding helped straighten someone out. "That's what makes it all worth while being able to help someone who's in trouble." Judge Taggart first sat on the city court bench in July, 1952, when she was appointed to fill a vacancy.
