Further than this, don't think that in three

seemed to be a set of clear-headed wide awake,
earnest and cool gamblers who had been
caught in a furry and were trying to work
their way out of the game This. in fact,
is what they really were ana what they were
trying to do. Messenger boys, young clerks,
curbstone brokers, bueket-shop players and
newsboys ran up and down the street through
the crowds, with flushed faces and pant

demanded the utmost expedition. They con

grand opportunity to display his ability and

of duty, and ASSERTED himself from Washington
in order that he might escape prosecuting the

lected evidence against them, but when he was
fed from the scene where he might have
achieved distinction and rendered the govern
ment great service, and refused to take any

The Criminal Lawyer.


Some people think the great criminal lawyers
are exceedingly brainy and intellectual men, and
that on this account they have been able so often
to defeat the ends of justice and secure favora-
BILE verdicts for their clients Such is not neees-
sarily the case. Men of small caliber are some
times quite shrewd; and some very successful
criminal lawyers are men of small caliber.
Their success is due to cunning and to sharp
practice rather than to solid merit and honest
work They resort to chicanery that an honest,
upright lawyer would scorn to adopt. The public
often gives them credit for great learning and
giant intellects, whereas they receive only con
tempt from those among whom their methods
are known.
