The Lawyers Right to Weep.

The Supreme Court Of Tennessee
has decided that q lawyer has the
right to shed tears to influence the
verdict of a jury, and, in fact, says
that if he can bring tears to his eyes
at will he is derelict IL he neglects
to do so. The case was one In which
the defendant had appealed on the
ground that the weeping Of the attor-
ney for the plaintiff had unduly infu-
enced the Jury. The court found that
the point had never been raised be
fore. and asserted that the manner OF
defense must be eft largely to the
Judgment of attorneys. Some" said
the Judge. IDEAL wholly in logic argu-
ment without any establishment. 9th
ers use Rhetorical and occasional
flights of fancy and imagination. 9th
ers rely upon noise ind gesticulation'
earnestness of manner and vehemence
of speech. Others appeal to the pas
sions, prejudices and sympathies OF
the jury. Others combine all OF these
NODES" He declares that no cast
iron rule should be made, but that
tears have always been considered
legitimate arguments before jury
and would appear to be one of the
natural rights of counsel, as 1t would
be difficult to decide whether or moi
the emotion was natural if such
! noint should he raised. He SAYS 9

Howard who has been on trial for the
past ten days, charged with being a
principal in the assassination OF VIII
liam Goebel, was found guilty, the jury
fixing his punishment at death.
Howard did not lose his composure
when the verdict calling for the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law was read IN
the crowded courtroom. He glanced
at his attorneys, who sat beside him,
and smiled, but said nothing. After
the Jury had been discharged Howard
was taken back to the jail and here
for the first time he betrayed emotion.
He called for a pen and paper ana
wrote long letter to his wife, during
which tears coursed down his cheeks.

who spent a good part of the day III

He had the record, however, OF Delng
the leader of the Howard-White FAC

taken. He had killed George Baker
and was suspected of the assassination
of Tom Baker, who was killed after the
