LICENSE TO STEAL.
Success of Young Lawyer in Proving
His Client KIeptomaniac.

His Client a KIeptomaniac.
f'My first CASE said a well-known at
torney to a San Francisco Call re-
porter, was the defense of a negro
preacher for stealing wood from a rail-
road company. A great deal of fuel had
been lost from time to time, so when
the culprit was arrested ths company
was so anxious to make an example of
him that it employed special counsel
and prosecuted the case vigorously. The
evidence against the old man was con-
vincing. He had been sneaking around
the woodpiIe and was arrested while
carrying off a load.
81 had subpoenaed about twenty we'll
known men to testify to the previous
good character of the defendant. When
the prosecution case was closed I put
one on the stand and asked:
"'Do you know the defendants repu-
tation for honesty and integrity?'
Yes was the answer.
What is it, good or bad?'
Bad. He will steal anything he can
get his hands on"
"a litter ran through the courtroom.
It wasn't the answer 1 had expected,
but it was too late, so I put on bold
front and called another. He testified
as the other witness had, and the pros
ecuting attorney rubbed his hands with
satisfaction. Before I got through with
my witnesses 1 proved that my client
was a notorious thief, who had never
been known to neglect an opportunity
to steal something, no matter how tri-
fling it might be. Then 1 called a
couple of physicians. proved the exist
ence of a mental disorder known as
kleptomania. read some authorities to
show that it was a good defense if
proved, and submitted my case. The
old preacher was acquitted and there
after stole with impunity, for he con-
sidered his acquittal in the face of the
facts equivalent to a license to steal
