Tennessee Lawyer Wins His Suit
Though Eleven Miles From Court.


Though Eleven Miles From Court.
J. I. Durham, a lawyer at GalItfn.
Tenn. tried and won case by telephone
Few days ago. It was about a horse
trade The presiding justice heard the
arguments by megaphone attachment and
solved the merits of the case in short or
der Lawyer Durham, who won the case :
'labored under the disadvantage Of being
atathe wrong end OF the line, and had to
make MS speech without being able to
see the judge. The other lawyer merely
had to examine opposing witnesses in this
novel manner -..-. -. - =.
I had foreseen this difficulty and had
rehearsed my speech the night before -
says Mr.. Durham. talking energeticaIly
into the receiver in the seclusion of my
ofhce-a proceeding that would probably
have convinced any one coming In unex-
pectedly and catching me doing the fren-
zied oratory act into a phone, that 1
had taken leave of my senses My re-
hearSal proved to be a great help to me-
Tor 1 proceeded with my speech without
any hesitation, and those who were at
the court room end Of the wire say that
with their eyes shut to the peculiar ma
ture of the proceedings 1t was scarcely
possible to tell that the orator was not
addressing the court in their presence.
My gestures were lost upon the court,
and there my opponent had a little the
better of me; but my arguments were
delivered with the same fervor ard re-
gard for the effect of an argument as
though l had been addressing the su-
preme court.
Then came the summing up by the
magistrate, and the crowd with me lis
tened eagerly to the judicial words that
came distinctly over the wire and cut
the air of my office in a particularly
CHEEKY manner. for the summing up
showed that my eloquence over the phone
had had its effect on the judges mind
l had won my first telephonically tried
case, and as 1 had been saved a tire
some journey of eleven miles, as also had
my client and his witnesses"
Durham ranged his witnesses in the Of
flee at Gallatin, while the opposing law
yer lined up with his eleven miles away
in the court room. Witnesses were duly
sworn by the clerk of the court, gave
their testimony and were cross-eXamined
by telephone. megaphone attachments
making their testimony audible to a
crowd at each end of the line.
''It bothered me not a little not to see
the faces of the witnesses" says Attor-
ney Durham. for. as any advocate wilL
bear witness, 1t is helpful in cross-exam-
ination to watch the face of the man
testifying. In fact, this is so important
a part of the art that 1t would not be
possible to conduct a case involving life
and death in this way. but In minor
case, both parties being under the same
disadvantage. 1t is a very unimportant
handicap.

THE HAGUE SITUATION.
German Delegates Are Awaiting
Pleasure of the Emperor.

Pleasure of the Emperor.
THE HAGUE. June lit is important
that the present situation regarding the
board Of arbitration question be clearly
understood. The work Of the peace con-
ference has been virtually suspended on
this point, and possibly will not be re-
sumed for some days. On semt-oft1cial
authority 1t is said the situation is prac-
tically this: The German government was
opposed on principle to an organized ar
bitratton court. and 1t was found these
views existed long prior to the confer
ence, and that instructions to the effect
were given the German delegates. The
conviction obtained in Berlin that other
powers, notably France. would instruct
their delegates similarly. AS the con-
ference proceeded the spirit Of concilia-
ton advanced, and the desire Of accom-
plishing important permanent results
was manifested. With this grew up
schemes for an organized arbitration
board, notably the British proposals. to
which nearly all the members rallied with
the authoritative support of their re-
spective governments. This at once left
the German delegates in a peculiar con-
dition, for which they were not prepared.
The difficulty was not at The Hague, but
at Berlin In order to relieve the situa
ton, Count Won Munster, head Of the
German delegation, after a long confer
ence yesterday, with his colleagues at
Scherreningen. decided to dispatch DR..
Zorn and Baron Won StengeI to inform
the emperor personally of the condition
of affairs.
