While in private practice, she represented gangster John Dillinger after his arrest in Tucson.
“Wit, Wisdom and Strength,” are the words engraved on Rose Silver’s tombstone in a Tucson cemetery. That saying aptly describes the petite woman who became the first female attorney for Pima County, and the woman who dared to defend the notorious criminal, John Dillinger — and win her case.
James’ health improved rapidly, and the following year, the couple married. Over the years, they had 5 children. She rented space in a building next to a criminal attorney and took any case that walked through the door. Most of her clients were bootleggers who had been caught running stills. The men readily admitted to having stills, but Rose argued the police had entered the defendants’ homes without warrants. The cases were almost always dismissed.
“I would take the children and their friends around in that car,” Rose said in a 1984 interview. “And pretty soon the upholstery got dirty with mustard and ketchup and whatever you buy for children at the hamburger stands.” She sent the car to an upholsterer to replace the stained seats. Appointed legal adviser to the Pima County Board of Supervisors in 1973, Rose was offered a salary that was $7,000 less than her male predecessor.
