US v. Henry Brown
I have found no information regarding trial of Henry Brown for the
murder of Harriet Kavanaugh in Annapolis in Court of Appeals or AA Circuit
Court records. According to the Afro, the murder (which occurred
Jan. 14, 1920) was heard in Federal Court (Afro, July 22, 1921, p. 52 in
the .pdf of Gibson Binder). The murder victim was a nurse at the
Naval Academy, which is I believe why it was a federal case.
In addition, Davis himself was not involved in the case until 1921. The Afro of August 19, 1921, states that Brown's defense committee announced that they had "never given the case over entirely to Mr. Davis or any other attorney but cooperated with him. Mr. Davis' work, they said, was completed on July 25 and a letter has been sent him [sic] containing check 'for services to date and relieving him of further obligation.'" (page 55 of Gibson Binder). Davis filed papers with Dept. Justice, reported in the Afro on June 10, 1921 (p. 50). Davis is last reported to be involved on Aug. 26 (p. 56), and there are no more mentions of the case in the binder.
