The Abuse OF Witnesses.

(StauntOn Nlndlcat0r)
Public attention In Virginia was very
distinctly called in the trial Of the Mas
sey suit at Norfolk TO the abuse OF wit
nesses permitted by the Court. 1t derived
peculiar emphasis in that case from the
general interest growing out Of the promi-
nence OF the parties to the suit; but we
suppose we do not overstate the evil
when we say that IL prevails more or less
in every court In the State-and. possibly,
in every other State-especially among
the lawyers of least repute III the profess
sion. The Advance Reports OF the Penn
sylyania Legal Intelligencer show that the
Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania intends
TO bring to an end this disreputaole prac-
tice OF brow-beating In that state. That
court, by decision filed by Justice
Green. May 30, 1880, in the case Of Holden
VS.. Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
unanimously decided that the abuse and
insult of witnesses or litigants, in argu-
ments TO the jury. furnish legal ground
for an exception on the record TO be re-
viewed by the Supreme Court. In TINS
case the Supreme Court not only sus-
tanned the exception as based on good
legal grounds. but reversed the Judgment
OF the court below distinctly on the
grounds therein stated.
1t is not infrequently that the attorney.
In default OF having impeached the wit
ness by evidence, proceeds to impeach
him on his own account by attacks on
his veracity. honesty. and general char
acter which attacks oftef serve. as they
are INTENDED, to create the impression
with the jury that they are founded on
something more than the audacity Of the
man who utters them. This impression
indubitably sways the ordinary jury in
making UP its verdict The decision OF
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Is, II

Importance and power Of an enlight-

crs Wave All ID mands.

Brooklyn. n. Y. Feb. 13.-The trolley
strike in this city is practically over.
President Lewis of the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad company will decide
to-day whether il should be carried
on any longer or not when he gives
his answer to a proposition that was
submitted 10 him by Judge James
Tighe and ex-Assemblyman James F.
Graham.
The men appeared for u. A. IS and
offered a proposition to the effect that
the men now on strike should be taken
back TO work They were closeted with
Mr.. Lewis and the directors of the
company for about two hours.
In the proposition the men ask for
nothing more than that they be given
a chance TO go back to work and they
waive all of the demands they made
when they went on strike. They ask.
however. that when a non-union man
leaves the company his car will be
given to the oldest man in the COM
pany's employ.
President Lewis promised Mr.. Tigh-
and Mr.. Graham that he would answer
their proposition to-day. After Mr..
Tighe and ex-Assemblyman Graham
left Mr.. Lewis Office the latter called
the board OF directors together for the
regular monthly meeting. II is said

was talked about and that all Of them
seemed to be satisfied with 1t.
