4L4WYER,S .STR1T1GEM.

A well-known Kansas citizen tells
this story:
Fifteen years ago Judge McSweeney
was famous criminal lawyer of South
ern Michigan. He was called upon
to defend Il young woman from the
charge of having poisoned her old hus-
band. 1t was a question of whether
or not she had placed poison in a cake
of which the old man had eaten. A
portion of the cake had been analyZed
by chemist and found to contain a
great deal of deadly poison. The
chemist testified to this in court. 9th
err witnesses succeeded in making u
chain of damning evidence against
the pretty young widow.
The time came for the summing up
speeches of the attorneys. The pro-
secution began and finished and all
looked hopeless for the prisoner ut
the bar. Judge McSweeney, the only
speaker for the defense, arose amid
breathless silence. The room was
crowded and all were listening. One
could almost hear the quiet, it was so
intense. He began in low tone to
sum up the evidence in defense of the
prisoner. He had been allowed an
hour in which to plead his side of the
case. He dealt with everything but
the cake. 1t rested upon the table
just at his right hand, where it had
stood during all the weary trial. Thir-
ty minutes passed and the people, still
motionless, charmed by the sweet
eloquence of the gruff old lawyer
Three-quarters of an hour passed by,
then another ten minutes.
When the clock over the big desk
told him there were but five minutes
left, he reached his hand out to the
cake, half of which stood upon the
table. and broke off Il ragged chunk.
He held this i'll his hand and between
sentences took great lnouthfuls of it.
During those five minutes he calmly
argued the case and ate cake. He
demolished more than half of it.
The chemist had declared that there
was enough poison in it to kill fifty
men. The good people looked at him
in amazement and the jurors turned
to each other and whispered. Nc
Sweeney wound up his speech, took
another chunk of cake and walked
quietly from the court room eating
it. He closed the door behind him,
ran into a small room close by and
