REAL CAUSE FOR eLApNEss.
How Young Lawyer Carried Comfort
to Convicted Client.

An amusing story is told by Har-
per's Weekly at the expense Of a
prominent Baltimore lawyer, who, like
most young attorneys, got his first
case by assignment from the bench.
His client had been indicted for muir
der, and his conviction was a fore.
gone conclusion, as his guilt was un-
questionable.
The result OF the trial was a sen.
tence to be hanged; but the man
made an appeal to the governor for a
pardon and was anxiously awaiting a
reply thereto when his lawyer visited
him IN his cell.
Il got good news for you-very
good news!" the young lawyer said,
grasping the mans hand.
"Did the governor-is It a pardon7"
the man exclaimed joyously.
"Well, no. The fact Is the governor
refuses to interfere. But an uncle OF
yours has died and left you 5000, and
you will have the satisfaction Of know
ing that your lawyer got paid, you
KNOW" was the comforting explana-
tiOn.
