A DRAMATIC LAWYER.
Effective Climax That Resulted In

day long he harassed witnesses, re-

the jury. Ii was well on in the even

denly, at the height of his passionate
appeals for the prisoner, the slow. sol
emn bells of the cathedral next door
pealed for the midnight mass-the first
mass of Christmas morning. Lachaud
stopped as if overwhelmed by a sud

The prisoner was acquitted without
Rhe least difficulty, though his death
sentence ten minutes before had been
regarded as certain. The actual sound
OF the pealing bells had been too much
for nerves already strained TO snap

But nobody guessed, except the few
who knew Lachaud intimately. that
he had been maneuvering from the
