The Supreme Court Of Tennessee
has recently had i novel question to
snlve. The plaintiffs counsel had
shed tears before the jury in address
ing it. and error was assigned that
the conduct of such counsel had fun
duly excited the passions and sympa
thies of tue jury in favor of the plain
tiff and greatly prejudiced them
against the defendant"
The conrt recognized counsel's right
to shed tears, so long as he did not
indulge SO excessively rs to embarrass
the business Of the court. The court,
In saving that 10 cast-ir0n rule in this
regard could te laid down, observed !:
$50 do so would result that in
many cases clients would be deprived
of the privilege of being heard at all
by counsel. Tears have always been
considered Legitimate arguments be-
fore the jury, and We know no power
or jurisdiction to check them. 1t
would appear to be M of the natural
rights of counsel. which no statute
or constitution could take away it is
certainly a matter of the highest per
sonal privilege. Indeed, if counsel
have tears at command, it may be Sc
riously questioned whether it is not his
professional duty to shed them when
ever proper occasion arises, and the
trial Judge would not feel constrained
to interfere unless they are INDUCED
ia to such extent as to impede, embair-
ass, or delay the business before the
court"
Whatever may be the value of thi,
passage as az exposition of the law, II
is certainly a fine bit of sarcasm tenn
pered with refreshing humor. The
tear shedding counsel won the case
but his opposing brother got the laugl
on him. 1t is very much to be doubt
ed whether the former will ever again
resort to the use of the ''high persona
privilege" which the court recognize
as an inherent right III counsel.

FINALLY DECIDED.

The Supreme Court, having under
cons. Iteration the Ease of the Success
sion of the late r. ii. Allen, on
appeal from this parish, since the
month of January, rendered declsuln
last Monday which finally disposes of
tile case. The Supreme Court affirm
ed, with but q slight modification, the
iudgmentthe district court.
We give the syllabus Of the case,
winch is as follows:
The expression III u former opin-
ion, that the net proceeds OF the crop
of 1894 should go to Mrs. Bette Allea
as special legatee, was the result of
the interpretation it placed upon the
testament of the deceased, and it
conteiD plated the result OF the adj
min~istratiOn Of the executors alone.
Hence the expenses to be deducted
from the gross proceeds Of same we've
those wtlicl, were incar,ed after the
tesIator's succession had been opened
by his death. 2. Money collect ed from
the United States government under
the act of Congress OF March z, 1895,
was a gratuity or beneticence granted
under the stipulations contained there
in and predicated upon prior compli-
ance of the testator with the condi-
tons imposed by the terms OF the act
of July !, 1S91-the first bounty act Of
the government-prior to its repeal on
the 18th of August 1894 and the tes-
tator having died in September after
the repeal there vas 40 claim thereto
ia esse, which devolved upon the
special legatee of the crop as an incl
| dent thereof. 3. The three nieces of
the testators, who were dislnherited
by the terms of the will. ale not en-
titled to participate with other legal
heirs in the distribution Of the bounty
money, because same constitutes parts
of the residuum from which they were
excluded by our former decree. 4. A
Judgment which homolOgates a pro-
v%isiOnal account and tableau of distri-
| button constitutes II bar to subsequent
inquiry and serves as a foundation for
the plea OF res ~adjudicata. 1t was or
dered by the Supreme Court that the
Judgment appealed from be 50 amend
ed as to tax the general estate with
executors commissions in the amount
of 1925 80. With this amendment the
decision was affirmed.

There is good reason why the rail
roads of this country should be joyful
over the breaking Of the rail trust. 4
million and a half tons Of steel rails
have been ordered for this year which
cost about $4,000 900, but under the
trust rate the railroads would have
been compelled to pay the enormous
sum of $37, 900. 900. This is the BEN
eft that is derived from free compe-
%tition, and if corporations a enjoy

be barred from the same privilege
