who first conceived this plan OF cross

He doubtless won many cases by

at his betters in the witness chair.
His chief desire seems to be to make
as thorough paced an idiot of himself
as possible. Judges chuckle at him,
old lawyers smile at him, witnesses
call him impertinent when they leave
the stand, and every one who hears
and see him very properly despises
him.
Yet he grows up in the business
and expands, and his abusive propen.

lying does not always win. There
are finer methods Of discomposing q

an old lawyer who never failed to
discompose his victim by a much
simpler and infinitely less offensive
method. The old lawyer took snuff.
just as he was about to ask a vital
question he would take a pinch very
slowly and tremendously. Then he
would draw out an immense red
handkerchief and spread it upon his
hand.
He would then put the question,
screw up his eyes as If the snuff irri

probably continue to bulldoze until
the courts discourage the custom
