HE WON HIS CLIENTS CASE.
Successful Venture of Broker as "a Grim
inal Advocate at the Bar.

bucCtssihl venture OF n BROKER as "a Trim
inal Advocate at the Bar.
Jacksonville broker, while travelling
in the Alabama mountains. was invited
by a friend, a local judge. to attend the
trial of cracker" for shooting a mig
ger" and the prisoner having no money
to hire lawyer, the judge appointed
the broker to defend him, alleging that
if the broker not lawyer "he was an
idiot because he wasn't ohe"-a judy
ment amply supported by his conduct
of the case. The broker, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, cross-eXamined
the witnesses briefly, sending in now
and then a discomfiting trajectory.
When he came to make speech he said:
Gentlemen of the jury, have taken
great pains to show you that my client
was respectable citizen. Ten wit
nesses have asserted-on oath, mind
you-that he stands high in his com.
munity." The defendant was six feet
three inches tall, and the jury smiled.
HE stood high in the community, and
that is sufficient. Now for the law. We
find that the 3Oth verse of the 10th chap
ter of 'Chitty on Pleadings'-Chitty
gentlemen, was one of the bravest gen.
erals N the confederate army-this we'll
established principle of law" Here the
broker adjusts his glasses, holds the
book far off, elevates his chin and reads:
"'No respectable white man can be
guilty of crime That, gentlemen, is
enough. leave the case in your hands"
Each juror changed his guild, looked at
his neighbor, nodded, and, without leav-
ing their seats, rendered loud and en-
phatic verdict of mot guilty" and then
Joined in three cheers for the defendant
and his lawyer.
