WORTHLESS TESTIMONY.
Tho Way Keen irish Lawyer Wor
ried Anthony rroIIope.

Among the stories In Pages From
an Adventurous Life" by j. Il. Pres
ton Mudlock, Is one that Lord Alver-
stone was wont to tell with apprccia-
tion. In postofiice prosecution at
Hcrtford assiZes Il clever Irish bar
ristcr appeared for the defendant, who
was a poor letter carrier guilty of some
irrcgularity. Among the witnesses was
Anthony I'rollopc, then government
postofiicc inspector. After he had CIV
en- his testimony he was handed over
to the lawyer for the defense for cross
examination.
"What are you!' demanded the keen
Irishman in IL severe and command
Ing tone sonorous with rich brogue
AN official IN the postofiice," an
swered 1rollope, somewhat astonished
by the lawyers brusqucness.
"Anything clse| demanded the cross

proudly.

there isn't a word OF truth In 1t from
beginning to cnd!"
I'll am afraid IL you put 1t that
way there isn't" stammered Trollope
In an embarrassed way.
With triumphant air, the lawyer
turned to the jury
"Gentlcmcn." he exclaimed, how
can you possibly convict man ON
the evidence Of witness like this,
who here In this court Of justice un-
blushingly confesses that he has writ
ten book In which there Is not one

Trollope had fallen squarely into the
pit diggcd for him by his unscrupulous
