Argument For the Defense.
With one little egg Lawyer Randall
OF New York won case and cleared
courtroom in Paterson. N. j., recently.
Mrs. Jennie Foster Of Lower Freak
ness sold Emil Zangin a quantity of
eggs, guaranteeing them to be the most
yecent product Of the hens on her farm.
When Zangin opened one that had been
cooked for his breakfast, he sailed
forth, rushed to the Foster farm and
denounced Mrs Foster in language SO
levere that she caused his arrest ON
charge of disorderly conduct.
The case came up later in Paterson
before Justice Hutschmitt, and Richard
Randall, who appeared for the defend
ant, prophesied that he would win.
~ have incontestable evidence, said
he, "of unprecedented provocation.
Mrs. Foster and several witnesses told
the story Of the transaction and of Zan-
gins abusive language. Called upon to
defend his client, Lawyer Randall said:
"May it please the court, would
have my client plead guilty but for one
thing-this thing" And he produced
an egg. This egg, your honor, will be
our sole defense. l submit that this
specimen Of hen fruit should be broken.
With the permission of the court will
proceed to break it,
The justice, the witnesses and spec
tators gathered in circle while Lawyer
Randall poised the egg aloft.
"Are you ready?" asked the lawyer.
"Let her go!' said the justice.
Down went the egg on the floor. Up
rose an awful something in the air. In
ten seconds the courtroom was cleared.
Lawyer Randall led the exodus; the
others fell over each other behind him
in their efforts to escape.
