The Case.

The court and jury, as well as the spec
tators, generally enjoy the scene when
a lawyer, in an attempt to badger or
browbeat witness, comes off second
best in the encounter. A contemporary
recalls an amusing instance of this sort
which happened few years ago In an
Albany courtroom. The plaintiff, who
was lady, was called to testify. She
got on very well, and made favorable
impression on the jury under the guild
ance of her counsel, Hon. Lyman Tre-
maine, until the opposing counsel, Hon.
Henry Smith, subjected her to sharp
oss-examination. This so confused her
that she became faint and fell to the
floor in a swoon. OF course this excited
general sympathy in the audience, and
Mr. Smith saw that his case looked badly.
An expedient suggested itself by which
to make the swooning appear like a piece
of stage mockery, and thus destroy SYM
pathy for her. The lady's face in swoon-
ing had turned purple red, and this fact
suggested the new line of attack. The
next witness was a middle-aged lady.
The counsel asked, =
''Did you see the plaintiff faint short
time ago, MADAME"
''Yes, sir"
''People generally turn pale when they
faint, do they not2'
Great sensation in court and evident
confusion of witness. But in moment
she answered.
'No, not always"
