got him upstairs and in bed. when
all of a sudden he Jumped up and
cried: There is an attorney"
At this point Brown stopped this
interesting tale. which was to have
shown that Strauss got the gun from
his Dibulous friend, who threatened
to massacre a third attorney with IL.
Brown said he was willing to admit
that Strauss got the gun in a lawful
manner.
Strauss went on with the main
story, telling how he met the girl
and went TO Emma Square with her,
where they arrived Just as the last

then took her on q car ride to Ka.

girls home, where Strauss began to
write down the evidence of the girl.
He asked for witness to show that
he had not obtained this evidence by
coercision.
Soon Akoke arrived, and he asked
with much profanity what the attor.

Strauss went out. but fearing that
Akoke might not have the friendliest
intentions he asked him to proceed

Brown argued that even an attorney
did not have the right to get drunk
and kiss the girls in the parks at the
point OF gun. and that Julia had told
the truth. Chillingworth made an
eloquent argument to the effect that
no assault had been committed and
that Strauss had shown that none was
intended by giving Julia so many op.
pOrunities to escape.
The court stated that II It had
heard the case as a police Judge II
would have discharged Strauss, but
as II sat as committing magistrate
merely, and had to commit where

jury might convict, It would have to
commit Strauss to the Grand Jury,
which was done, bail being set at $3.50.
