SMILES IN THE COURT ROOM
Some Ripplss on the Placid PrOOssdingr
Before Judge RsdiOk.
QUESTIONS As TO HEREAFTER RULED CUT
John L. webster Advises witness Not
TO Reply Because Even wise
Men DIner as to the
answer.

Several flashes of brightness illuminated
the dull generalities of a street railway
company damage suit in Judge Redicks
court Friday. The occasion was the trial
Of the case of Benjamin Telpner. based on
personal injuries alleged to have been sus-
tanned by his little son. The first witness
to make the listless court habitues sit UP
and look was ABBEY Rubinstein, who is not
very much larger than an old-fashioned
loaf of homemade bread. First Abbey was
asked If Attorney Gross, the claim agent
Of the city railway company had been to
see him. In asking this question Attor-
ney Ziegler referred to this handsome
gentleman sitting here"
Attorney Gross at once took exception
TO the levity OF language OF his brother
attorney in asking the question. He said,
too, sarcastically, that when II comes to
facial beauty Mr. Ziegler was in the Pier
pont Morgan class himself.
Now, gentlemen" said Judge Redck
with twinkling eyes, you must possess
your souls in patience and exhibit toward
one another the perfect courtesy the ethics
of the profession demand. We are not
going to try here the question of personal
beauty"
Alleys Idea of n Hereafter.
The gathering storm at once split up and
was dissipated, and the questioning pro-
ceeded with reference to the philosophy
| of goodness, truth telling, as opposed to the
danger and punishment of sin.
what would happen to you, ABBEY, If
you were to tell a lie here?"

ground. and when God found how many

ABBEY was allowed to testify about the
| accident.
Later on second Abbey was put on the
stand, even younger and smaller. He was

The jury has been excused until Satur-

The next case to be called will be that
OF Phillips & Johnson, which is set for
Thursday, December IA. who are charged

and arises out of an appropriation OF

property was determined after long inves-
tigation.

the important part of the. statement
is that the Grand River project would
have been selected before the I'M

valley thought that they could do the
work cheaper under the bonding
system. 1t is hard to understand the
intent of Mr. Newell's claim. He per
fectly understood that at any time
that the government would intimate
that they would even look with favor
on the Grand River project that. the
private scheme would be abandoned
instanter. He was apprised of this
condition of things many times, right
here in this city and it is not under
standable that he takes the position
he does. II is well known fact
that Mr.. Fellows chief of the hy dro-
