A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
Effect Of One Woman's Pathetic Eyes

Effect OF One Woman's Pathetic Eyes
Upon asJury.
James T. Brady, who was one of
New York's greatest lawyers, was once
counsel for a young woman in case
involving an attempt to break will.
His client sat by his side. She was
a very beautiful young woman. whose
eyes seemed always to rivet the atten-
ton Of those upon whom her glance
fell. There was pathetic expression
which affected every one. She sat
watching the jury during the course Of
the trial, and at last there was some
complaint that she was attempting by
means of her glances to excite the
sympathy Of the jury.
Then Mr.. Brady arose and In one
Of the most touching and beautiful OF
all the addresses he ever made in court
spoke Of the blessings which every one
who had an appreciation OF beauti-
full things and could see them enjoyed
and dwelt for some moments upon the
happy lot Of the Jury who could see
the budding Of the fowers-it was
then springtime and the charms Of
nature. Then. suddenly turning to his
client, he said, THAT blessing is denied
my client for, though she has eyes
which seem to look upon You, gentle
men, there is no vision in them, for
her sight has been taken from her"
She had been, In fact the victim Of
total paralysis Of the optic nerve,
which had not impaired the beauty Of
Eher eyes. but had given to them that
singular pathetic expression which she
| was thus falsely charged with EN-
| ploying that she might secure the sym
