MINISTER WELLS AS A LAWYER.
CORRESPONDENTS OF THE NEW YORK
 EVENING POST.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK
 EVENING PosT.1
 The death of Minister Willis in Hawaii has set tKentuckians at Washington to storytelling about him. One of them de- scribes an incident illustrative of his method of trying lawsuit before jury. He was once attorney for young woman in case againsta prominent and wealthy contractor of Louisville. The case at- tracted much attention and the court room was crowed when trial was on. The contractor took the stand, and being of an easy conscience, tried to swear the case out of court. Then Willis arose ID behalf of the young woman. He did not seek to cross-examine the witness. He turned to the great crowd of spectators and at random singled out man in the front row.
 "Stand up and get sworn where you stand," said Willis to the astonished spectators. "Do you know the defend ant?"
 "Yes," answered the spectator.
 "Do you know his reputation for truth and veracity?"
 "Yes."
 ''Is it good or bad?'
 Bad"
 "Would you believe him under oath ?'
 "No."
 Then Willis called on another specta- tor to stand up and be sworn, with simi- lar results. Thus he called on spectator after spectator at random, until he had sworn 15 or 20 of them. They all agreed that contractor could not be believed under oath. It was proof positive to the jury in impeaehing the contractor, for it was clear to every one the witness es had not been summoned for the pur- pose of impeachment. Willis won the case and secured 8 verdict of $20,000 against the defendant.
