the Two Great Men.
An old lawyer. speaking Of dramatic
Incidents in court, said: "Jere Clemens,
once famous United States senator
from Alabama. told of a trial in which
Burr appeared for the defense Of a
man charged with murder. My recOl-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest.
when Burr addressed the Jury, il
was night. The guilty man was i'm the
room. He had been the principal wit
ness for the prosecution. but Burr had
learned that this witness was the as
sassin. and in closing his address for
his client he picked up two lighted
candles from the table. and. holding
them in the face Of the witness refer

the jury. there is natures verdict. Now
write yours At that moment the wit.
ness fled from the room. After Glenn.

a man of wonderful personal mag

to make Burr hero and to besmirclr
Hamilton's character.

Hamilton in which Hamilton detailed
some scandalOus gossip about Burr
