That witnesses often hare as fine
appreciation of humor as lawyers,
is illustrated by the following dia
logne which took place between a
well known attorney and a couple
of his witnesses in the Fourth
District Court a day or two ago.
The attorney had secured a con.
tinuance in the case in which the
aforesaid witnesses had been sum
moned. One of the witnesses, a
female, approached the lawyer
and said e tE - -
"Mister lawyer, as it's leap year,
I hope yen take no offense if ask
yon aquestion.n
The lawyer assured her that no
Offense would be taken.
~ wanted to ask We if yes could
get another continuance when the
case came mp next month, as this
witness (pointing to her compan.
ion) won't be able to be present"
The lawyer glancing at the wit.
ness whose future presence was
doubtful took in the situation.
With some severity the lawyer
said:
"Madam, you should have been
more circamspect. / may lose my
my case on account of your sb-
