FUN FOR THE LAWYERS.

Gen. A. L. Hart Goaded to Desperation
by His Former Law studsnt.
SACRAMENTO. Dec. IA rather sensa'
tional feasurs occurred in the superior
court tonighs during the trial of bur-
slary csss. A youth named Rains was
caught in Lawyer A. L. Hart's houue
one night some weeks ago, and his trial
commenced yesterday. General Hart
being absent in Woodland, the district
attorney conducted the prosecution
alons. When the burglary occurred,
and for year or two prior thereto,
William P. Harlow WAS . student in
Hart's Office and two weeks ago was ad.
mitted to practice by the supreme
court.
The first case he got was that OF young
Rains, and when Hart was told of it, he
informed Harlow that Rains could not
DO defended by his Office. Harlow de-
cided to stay by his client go he and
Hart severed their relations. both pro-
Iossionally and socially.
Tonight ON Hart's return from Wood
isnd he took the witness stand to testify
against the prisoner. Great fun was
expected by lawyers and others whom
Harlow started in to cross-examine the
general. but they got even moro than
they had bargained for. Altar asking
number OF tsntalizing questions, Harlow
finally got Hart so angry that he forgot
the courts frequent warnings and re-
piled iE euch terms that he WAS fined
$25 for contempt Of court. A few min
uies later there was another outbreak
and Hart was fined $50 more. This YVES
repeated in almost the next breath. and
finally the district attorney implored
the court not to be so severe on tho
witness, as he was greatly excited.
All this time Harlow maintained his
com posure and seemed to take sort OF
fiendish delight in prodding his former
friend and tutor. Once whom the court
reprimsnded him for asking some ques-
tion, he apologized and reminded the
court that IL was q new busineas to him,
and beside he had received his school.
