A PUZZLE
IN EVIDENCE

tOriginall
One of the most puzzling cases o,
professional duty | ever had was tina
OF Philip Gray, whom I defended OF
!. a charge Of forgery. Before selecting
line Of defense / visited the prisoner
IN his cell and asked him TO ten nc
whatever he knew that would tend Il
establish his innocence. Gray was q
me looking young fellow, about
twenty-five years ell, and with as hon
est look as l ever saw in any mans
eye Judge, therefore, Of my surprise
when instead Of complying with my
request, he asked me whether an at
torney was bound TO secrecy with re.
spect to his clients admission of guilt
and when ! said that such was tic
obligation he declared that he had com.
mitted the forgery.
A celebrated british barrister, hay,
lag been placed in a similar position
referred the case to the judges. who
after deIlberation told him that 1t was
proper he should defend his client,
though he should not state his own
belief in his innocence. / resolved to
act upon this advice myself and pro.
eeeded with tie defense.
Gray seemed Indifferent to the out,
come; at any rate, he would give me
no Information to guide me in assist
ing him. Indeed, there was little to
bring forward, for all the incentive TO
the crime was with the accused. The
forgery was the signature Of a will
purporting TO have been left by his
uncle Peter Martin. leaving Philip
Gray an his property, a large estate.
There was. however, one weak point IN
the evidence against the prisoner in
this. That two in three experts In CHI
Biography testified, and without know
Ing each others conclusions, that Phil
IN Gray had not written the signature
to the win. But the opinion Of the two
experts who We're Of this opinion did
not count for much. They were with
out reputation In their calling and had
been summoned BY me- The expert
who declared that the accused had
committed the forgery was at the head
Of his profession and had been sum
moned by the state.
The last day Of the trial was an ex-
citing one or, rather, pathetic one.
The mother Of the accused was In court
and the agony depicted on his face
was enough to move a heart Of ada,
