IS THERE A LIMIT?

Is there a limit in the examination OF
a witness in a court of law and justice {

is lawyer warranted in bull Raging
a witness?
Should not the court interpose when
a lawyer attempts to not only discredit
but to make a monkey of the wit

THE "SPOTTER" AND THE LAW
BREAKER.

How Supremacy ridiculous is the in1i-
vidual who will, hguratively, prance
about, in seemingly virtuous indignation
over the "spotter" who has turned up"
the saloon man who with deliberation
has violated the law
The saloon man is in the business for
all the money he can make out of it
and assumes the risks of detection, but
not by the police in uniform or the of
fcers of the State with whom he is we'll
acquainted AS a deliberate violator of
the law the saloon man is entitled to no
sympathy whatsoever. As he can not
be caught in his violation of the law by
the police in uniform or the officers of
the State, who may be his friends and
in full sympathy with him, the "spotter"
so-called is employed to catch and to
convict the law-breaking man of the
saloon. In brief, the "spotter," as the
saloon man. is working for the money,
and on that score they stand on par
ity. The spotter' who performs his
part we'll is entitled to some considera
ton, and his testimony is no less val
liable if maintained by facts and cir
cunstances which when aggregated lead
10 the conviction of the 1aw-bredke-
What is more natural for the law
breaking saloon man, when in the
clutches of the law, to play the role of
injured innocence. In his plea of de
Tense, he alleges a general denial and
leaves the details to the attorney de-
fent ing him.
i There are attorneys who will give
their clients the fullest defense consist
emf with an honorable profession. These
are never heard to belittle the efforts
of the State nor do these engage IN the
abuse and the villifcation of the spot
ter,
From the earliest ages the "spotteT
has been a medium through which MUIR
derers, highwaynen and all kinds O
criminals have been brought o justice
In the military service the "spotter9 is
indispensable in obtaining information
from the enemy, but when in the enc
mys lines the ''spotter' does not pro
claim his presence with the blaring o
trumpets. If caught he would b.
hanged with little ceremony.
AS a rule, the law-breaker is Away
on the alert for the 'spotter,' but h
will take the risk of being caught anc
convicted for the money he can make
If it were not for the "spotter" Their

gle worked side by side in the factory
and were the greatest chums ever
So Anna always made Jimmy Burns
take her by Maggie's house every Sat
urday night so that her friend could
go to the dance with them.
The Give and Take Athletic associa-
ton lived up to its name The ball
of the association In Orchard street
was fitted out with muscle making in
ventions. With the fibers thus build
ed up. the members were wont to en-
gage the police and rival social and
athletic organizations in joyous com
bat, Between these more serious oc-
equations the Saturday night hops
with the paper box factory girls came
as a refining influence and as an eff.
cient screen, for sometimes the tip
went around. and If you were among
the elect that tiptoed up the dark back
! stairway you might see as neat and
satisfying a little welterweight affair
TO 4 finish as ever happened inside the
ropes.
On Saturdays Rhinegold's paper box
factory closed at p N. On one
such afternoon Anna and Maggie
