A GOOD ACTOR.
How . Famous French Advocate Won Q
Hopeless Murder Case.

Hopeless Murder Case.
Matre Lakeland. the famous advocate,
was perhaps the greatest master OF comedy
In France and not few eminent actors
epyied him his marvellous powers OF MIN
icry He was once employed to defend
murderer against whom the facts were
hopeiessly clear
When his pathetic appeals and his tears
which were always at call when he
pleaded before a country 1ury-failed to
touch his stolid audience, he resorted to
the most impudent piece OF trickery.
Thrusting his moistened white handker-
chief into his pocket he demanded II the
jurors were men, II they had human
hearts. II they could bring themselves to
condemn a fellow man like the accused,
whom he had credited with all sorts OF
chivalrous ii not sanity merits
His eloquence was not merely fruitlsss,
but the jury responded to IL at first with
uneasy shutting. then with biting lips,
and finally with loud and uncontrolled
bursts of laughter Lakeland, while fling
ing about his hands, had Intentionally
dipped his fingers into the great inkpot
In front OF him, and as he drew his right
hand across his forehead. as If in agony Of
despair az the certain fate of the accused.
he left upon his brow an enormous black
mark like a crescent moon, and drew two
other black races down his cheeks as he
pu. his fingers to his eyes to dash away
the tears
Feigning high moral Indignation 1T
their conduct, he continued You are
about to decide whether one of your fellow
men shall be thrust by you out OF the ranks
of the living and you choose such a mo-
ment for INDUCING in cruel and thought
less laughter Is this extravagant mirth
q fitting mood in which TO decide whether
q man shall or shall not die?'
The argument actually told upon the
jury. The man was acquitted.-Paris
