CLEARED HIS CLIENT.
The Able Argument That Saved Cracker
From Going to Jail.

The Able Argument That Saved Cracker
From Going to Jail.
There arc four bosom companions in
Jacksonyillc-the broker, the dentist, the
undertaken and the capitalist. Where you
see one of them you will find the rest
taking u drink. The undertaken and the
capitalist admire the dentist and the bro
ker because they cRn tell such wonderfully
clever stories. The broker and the dem
fist revere and love the undertaken and
the capitalist because they are such won
derfully good listeners
This happy, admiring quartet form IN
ideal round table, and around this round
table the two listeners often hear good sto-
ries by tho dentist and the broker. Tho
dentist Is an imaginative sort of story
teller, who manufactures finalcs to fit in
cidents. The broker Is great reader, q
realist and u philosopher.
One night the broker told of lawsuit
in Alabama A cracker from the noun
tains was on trial for shootingand wound
ing "nigger." He was arrested, and,
having no money, the judge appointed tho
broker to defend him. The broker was not
u lawyer in the legal sense Of the word,
but tho judge, who was an old college
mate Of his, said 10 WAS an idiot because
he wasn't one; in other words, that he
was lawyer by instinct. The broker cross
questioned the witness briefly, sending In
now and then u sarcastic and discomtiting
trajectory. When he came to make
speech, he said:
Gentlemen of tho jury, have taken
great pains to show you that my client
was u respectable citizen. Ten witnesses
have asserted-on oath, mind you-that
no stands high In his community"
The defendant was 6 feet 8 inches tall,
and the jury smiled.
He stood high in his community, and
that is sufficient. Now for tine law. We
find in the thirtieth verse Of the sixteenth
chapter Of "Chitty on Pleadings' Gritty,
gentlemen, was one of the bravcst generals
in the Confederate ariny-this we'll estab-
lished principle of law
Here the broker snaps his eyes together
and adjusts his glasses, holds tho book far
off, eleyates his chin and reads
"'No respectable white man can be
guilty of crime.
'That, gentlemen, is enough. l leave
the case in your hands"
Eacn juror cnhHgcu MS Hulu, lcoheu ht
his ncighbor, nodded and, without lcav-
ing their seats, rendered loud and EN-
phatic verdict of "Not guilty" and then
joined in three cheers for the defendant
and his lawyer.
Tho undertaken found fault with tine
story because nobody in it had been killed.
Tho dentist remarked that if anybody
deserved killing it was tho broker-Flori-
da Citizen.

Thomas Larkin, "a tramp giving his resi-

only made them more enraged, and they
took him to tree nearby and swung
him up, where they left him.
