lending Money to Lawyers

From Texas siftings.l
Sam Wednesday, an impecuniouS cit
lien of Austin, was supposed to be era
zy, and his relatives brought him before
the County Court to have a "lunatico
de inquirendo" jury pass on his mental
condition, his delusion being that he
was very rich. A lawyer proceeded to
ask the crazy man questions to test his
sanity:
Il hear you are going to build a
$50 900 residence"
at is to cost 100000.
" You don't say so"
Eyes, and | am going to start daily
paper with capital Of s250,OO0. That
is a mere trihe for man Of my means.
"You seem to have 80 much money
perhaps you would not object to lending
me 81 600"
II would like to do it, judge, bu
that would be such a risky investment
that every one would suspect me Of be
ing crazy"
The refusal Of she supposed lunatit
to seriously entertain the idea Of lending
money To an Austin Lawyer caused tn,
jury to decide that Sam WAS in the full
possession of his reasoning faculties.
