The famous doctor was visibly em.

The famous doctor was visibly en-.
barrassed.
80, can't do it now; it's thick
book" he said.
"But you forget, doctor, that think
ing I might ask you some such fool
ish question, you examined your vol
ume of Erskine this morning after
breakfast and before coming to
court"
The doctor showed his embarrass-
ment plainly. Refusing to take the
book, he said:
81 have not time to do it now"
"Timew thundered the lawyer.
"Why, there is all the time in the
world"
The doctor gave no answer.
81 am sure the court will allow me
to suspend my examination until you
shall have time to turn to the place
you read this morning in that book,
and can reread it aloud to the jury"
There was absolute silence in the
court room for three minutes. The
doctor wouldn't say anything, and
the lawyer for the city didn't want
to say anything. He saw that he
had caught the famous witness in a
manifest falsehood and that the doc
tors whole testimony was discred-
tied.
After few minutes more of this
distressing silence Presiding Judge
Justice Barrett dismissed the
witness and the whole case COL
lapsed.--Jonas Howard, in Chicago

Round Trip Ticket for a Corpse.

A Virginia member was telling
some of his constituents in the Demo
cratic cloak room about a circum-
stance that came under his notice the
other day, and which he thought was
worth repeating: "One of my constit-
uents, a colored man, who held Off ce
here in Washington as a messenger,
lost his aged father aftsr long ILL
ness. The rest of the family lived
down in old Virginia and were anx-
ious to see their dead relative before
he was laid to rest. The colored
messenger thought for long time
what to do in the matter, and then
went to the railroad station, and
going up to the ticket office, inquired
the price of a ticket for corpse TO
his old home in Virginia. The clerk
told him that the ticket would be So
for corpse, the same as a live man.
After thinking for a while, the darkey
inquired, How much will it be for a
a round trip ticket for corpse p
The ticket agent, in surprise, said,
'Why, we never sell round trip tick
cts for corpses, but if we did it would
be the same as live man, $5.50.'
The colored man put his hand down
in his pocket, drew out his wallet
and laid down $3.50, and said Give
me a round trip ticket, l say, boss, il
will be cheaper for me to let my rela
tives and friends look at it and then
bring it back here and bury it than
to have them all come up here and
live off me for week."- Washing

American.

Then Abraham Lincoln drew from
the side pocket of his coat blue
covered almanac, opened it slowly,
offered it in evidence, showed it to
the. jury and the court, read from q
page with careful deliberation that
the moon on that night was unseen,
and only arose at l o'clock the next
morning.
Following the climax, Lincoln
moved the arrest of the perjury wit
ness as the real murderer, declaring
that nothing but a motive to clear
himself could have induced him to
swear away 80 falsely the life of
another man. Sovine afterwards
confessed to the murder.
There have been instances in which
men high in the medical profession
have been caught in the act of giving
expert testimony by lawyer who
knew how to conduct a clever GROSS.
examination.
One instance of perjured medical
expert testimony was a doctor who
had been the medical expert for the
New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad for thirty five years, for
the New York Central railroad
twenty years and for the Erie railroad
fifteen years. He was so expert that
lawyers finally became afraid to
cross examine him.
There was one lawyer, however,
who was not afraid. The case was
one in which woman had sued the
city for $4,000 damages, claiming
she had been permanently injured by
tripping over street obstruction.
Her counsel was ex.Chief Justice
Noah Davis. DR.. Ranney, the
famous expert, had been in daily at
tendance upon the woman for three
years and testified he had examined
her minutely two hundred times.
The city's medical experts declared
the woman was only hysterical, but
the jury evidently believed DR.. Ran
ney. The cross ss-examination was as
follows:
Counsel (quietly)-"Are you able
to give us, doctor, the name of any
medical authority that agrees with
you when you say that the particular
group of symptoms existing in this
case points to one disease and only
one?"
Doctor--"O, yes, DR.. Erskine
agrees with me-"
"Who is DR.. Erskine, if you
please?"
"Well," said the witness, with a
patronizing smile, "Erskine probably
was one of the most famous surgeons
that England has ever produced"
There was litter in the audience at
the expense of the lawyer.
"What book has he written ?'
"I1e has written book called
'Erskine on the Spine,' which is alto
gether the best known work on the
subject" The litter around the
court room was becoming louder.
"When was the book published ?'
asked the lawyer, quietly.
"About ten years ago."
"Well, how is it that man whose

courI rooh was becoming louder.
"When was the book published ?"
asked the lawyer, quietly.
"About ten years ago."
"Well, how is it that man whose
tine is 80 much occupied as you have

question b this morning, after my
breakfast, I ,,'' down from my
library my copy Of Erskine's book,

This answer provoked loud laugh
at the expense of the lawyer. But
the lawyer reached under the table
and picked up his own copy of
"Erskine on the Spine," and, walk
ing deliberately up to the witness,
said:
"Won't you be good enough to
point out to me where Erskine adopts
your view of the case ?''
