ter of interest in a trial before Judge
Win6es in the criminal court. 1t was
worn by Mrs. Joseph Griswold, wife
of the defendant, who was acquitted
of the charge of smuggling Charles
Fleming, union pilot on the South
Side Elevated railroad.
Mrs. Griswold used the hat as a
screen. Her husband shielded himself
behind the big hat, and while the stare
was examining veniremen the pros
pective Jurors got their idea that the
woman was the real defendant. After
a legal argument Judge Wines rele-
gated the hat to the background and
compelled the woman to sit out before
the Jury.
"The defendant is not under the
hat; he is behind It," said Attorney
Lebosly. who was examining the men.
The legal argument as to the position
of the defendant then ensued. Griswold
was later declared not guilty.
