William Paul Brady (12 February 1876 – 27 February 1943) was an American lawyer. From 1909 to around 1914 he served as the first district attorney for Texas's seventieth judicial district, with jurisdiction over eleven western counties, and from 1917 to 1919 he was the judge for the newly created El Paso County Court at Law. Brady prosecuted several high-profile murder cases as a district attorney, including of Agnes Orner, and, in a death-penalty case that has since been termed a "legal lynching", of a Mexican boy charged with killing a white woman.[1]
