ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
RiDPles on the Current of Life in the
Metropolis.

- HEaE4
William Travis, 4 convicted burglar, on
trial for burglary. acted as his own lawyer
In a New York court last week, and won
out handsomely. He was tried on the
charge OF robbing the house Of one DR..
Lagie on December "a. last and was ar
rested last April. Three days before the
trial he waS convicted OF burglary, grand
larceny and jail breaking. In the FIRST
trial he had employed a lawyer and lost.
In the second trial he dispensed with
counsel and won.
Travis examined all .he talesmen who
had been summoned for jury duty. As each
talesmAn took the stand Travis asked him
this question: -'
Would you find a man guilty Of break
Ing and entering If no one saw him either
enter or leave the house. and he was not
arrested until three months after the com,
mission of the alleged crime2"
Those h answered In the negative
were promptly accepted.
DR.. George LAgie. whose house Travis
Is accused in the indictment Of having
robbed. and on which he is being tried,
was the hrst witness to be cross-exam-
ined. DR.. Lagie Identified the various ar
ticles shown him as having been stolen
from his house. There were articles of
silver tableware and a small purse. The
doctor was very positive in his identihca-
tions, but under Travis cross-examina
ton he weakened Apd admitted he did not
absolutely know that any article shown
him was stolen from his house. Travis
led the doctor along article by article, and
each the doctor admitted might be a re-
pliea Of that taken from his house. The
silverware had been made by a well known
Arm. and the doctor had TO admit that the
firm probably turned out the articles in
duplicate by the gross. There was no prs
vate mark on any article he could recog-
nize.
So badly shaken was the witness that
the district attorney had to resort to re-
direct examination. The doctor was made
to say that he recognized a gold dollar
which was found n the purse. Travis made
him say on he Recommendation that
the purse was purchased IN Germany, and
there were probably thousands like It; that
the gold dollar was one OF the millions
coined by the United States. Travis also
had the doctor admit that on the night his
house was robbed be was not sure that
the. dollar TO which he referred was on the
bureau. IN It, OF in the purse.
