RUSES OF ADROTT LAWYERS

Mason's client make certain statement, and
SO important was this statement that the
adversary's case was based on it alone.
Several questions were asked by Mason, all
of which the witness answered with more or
less hesitation. Then he was asked to repeat
once more the statement he had heard made.
Without hesitation he gave it word for word
as he had given it in the direct examination.
this statement, and again it was repeated
verbatim.
Then without warning he walked to the
witness stand, and pointing straight at the
witness said in a perfectly unimpassioned
voice, Let's see that paper you have in your
waistcoat pocket"
Taken completely by surprise, the witness
mechanically took paper from the pocket
indicated, and handed it to the lawyer.
There was profound silence in the court
room, as the lawyer slowly read, in a cold,
calm voice, the exact words of the witness in
regard to the statement and called attention
to the fact that they were in the handwriting
of counsel on the other side He then gathered
up his papers with great deliberation, re-
marked that there seemed to be no further
need for his services, and departed from the
court room.
Mason was asked how he knew that the
paper was in the witness pocket.
well" explained Mason, it seemed to me
that he gave that part of his testimony more
as if led learned it than as if he had heard it.
Then, too, noticed that at each repetition of
his testimony he put his hand to his waist
coat pocket, and then let it fall again when he
got through

A adroit lawyer. as all the world knows,
"A does not always depend entirely on the
logic of his case his mastery of the art of
persuasion to bring jury round to his way
of thinking. He has an eye to the individual
peculiarities of the jurymen, and does not let
an opportunity pass to impress them favor
ably.
1t is related of Lachaud, the most famous of
French criminal lawyers in the last century,
that in pleading a certain case he perceived
that one of the jurors seemed to be hostile to
him and his argument.
In the faces of all the other men in the box
he saw with his practised eyes that his ora
but this man, in spite of all Lachaud could do,
remained frowning, suspicious, obdurate.
Lachaud continued, with his work, however,
and presently saw that his opportunity had
come. 1t was hot day, and ray OF sun
light had penetrated crev1ce on the curtain,
and was shining on top of the head OF this
juryman, who was quite bald. The lawyer
paused in his argument, and addressed himself
directly to the court.
IF your Honor would please" he said, to
order that the curtain in yonder window be
lowered a trife, l am sure that the sixth jury
man would appreciate it.
This sign of watchful attention won the OBJ
stinate juryman's heart, and Lachaud's case.
Knew His Lesson Well

in the death OF Annis
The mental condition OF Captain
Hams previous TO the shooting was
testified to by Mr. Weaver. who as
serted that from the actions Of tho
army captain he believed him 90 be
irI aulonal.
The second materiar point
brought out by the defense was
drawn from John Tierney. a garb-
age collector, who said he was an
eye witness to the tragedy. Tierley
declared that Captain Hams had
ceased firing before his brother ran
down to the float and that the de-
fsndant did not draw his revolver
