The Fact That the Prisonse HAD No

John McSweeney Of Ohio. chief coun.
sci In the famous star route" trials
In Warrington. was one Of the most
eloquent pleaders who ever practiced
At the American bar. says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. His success In jury
trials was phenomenal and he rarely
failed to capture the jury with his
eloQuence. no matter how adverse the
evidence might be. On one occasion
Mr.. McSweeney was engaged ~ coun-
sci for the defense in California muir
der trial. The case looked hopeless.
There was not link missing In the
chaiA Of guilt which the prosecution
had welded. To the surprise Of every
body Mr.. McSweeney submitted NO evil
denos for the defense. Believing that
the trial was won the states attorney
made only few perfunctory remarks
in conclusion, and the great Ohio
pleadsr faced the jury to make the
concluding argument. He began in
quiet. friendly. conversational tone,
such as one might use in discussing
the weather. No reference was made
to the murder, even indirectly. but the
boyhood of the prisoner was quietly
and rapidly sketched with = master
hand-his school days. his embarka-
ton in business. his love affairs. his
'courtship and marriage, his struggles
to earn little home for his wife and
his family. The jurors were deeply
Interested and were following the mar
rative intently. Mr.. McSweeney stepped
closer. In a manner which seemed al.
most confidential he drew vivid word
picture of pretty country cottage
with q dooryard bright with doweri
and roses climbing over the porch.
Within he showed faithful and low
ing wife preparing supper-the table
partially set, the teakettle steamina
and singing on the stove. On the door.
yard gate three ruddy-faced young.
sters were swinging and looked up the
road to see who should be the flrst to
catch a glimpse of papa" coming
homo to supper. Suddenly the speak.
or stopped. Drawing himself up to the
Iull helgnt OF MS splendid prop0rtionA
he exclaimed in tone which startled
the whole court room by its explosive
vehemence: Gentlemen, you must
send him home to them! The effec,
was electrical. A roar of applause
followed and one old grizzled Juror
brushing away a tear, blurted out with
an oath: by -, sir. we'll do It
too"
Mr.. McSweeney instantly stopped
and sat down. The jury brought in .
verdict Of acquittal without leaving it,
seats.
Foremost among those who pressed
forward to congratulate the eloQuen,
Ohian was the prisoner himself, who,
with tears streaming down his cheeks
wrung his counsel's hands and thanked
him again and again. But between his
sobs he managed to say: mo Other
man in the world could have done that
