METHODS OF sCoUNDRELs.

The Way Lawyers Blast the Reputation
of Women to Gain Their Points.

said the first lawyer.

other.

tell a straightforward story that we
shall find it hard to ~disprove."
"Then we shall have to attack her
character" said the other. "That al
ways takes with a jury"
but her character is excellent"
Cant you discover anything shady
in her past life2"
"Not a thing"
"Oh. we'll, perhaps its better SO. 1t
excites a good woman more than it
does a bad one, and that's what we
want"
"But the judge" protested the first
barrister.
ooh, hang the judge. Well make
no direct attacks-just do it by in
ference, you know, and they always
permit that"
"But she can disprove any state.

The other looked Disguised,

claimed. who's going to make a
statements You never ~practised in
the police courts, did you9 There's no
use in giving her a chance to disprove
anything. I'll cross examine her, and
ask her if she didn't get divorce from
her former husband in 1884. Thatll
make her angry and she'll begin an
indignant denial. Then I'll get her to
answer Yes, or No. and it will annoy
her worse than ever. She'll finally
answer NO and 1 shall ask her if
she's sure. When she gets excited
over this, I shall say, %, all right, all
right, I was afraid it might have
slipped your mind. Let it drop.
That will-worry her more than ever,
but I'll drop the subject, and ask he1
if it is true that she eloped with he1

years old. That will settle her, as ]
won't giver her a chance to say more
than Yes or No, the jury will be con.

over, she'll be SO excited by this time,
that she will be practically at oul
mercy and the force of her evidence
broken"
"And her reputation ruined"
But we shall win the case"
"Well, of course, that's why we're
retained"
They shook hands over the compact
and one of them was afterwards quoted
as saying in a political speech that the
great fault with the judicial system o.
