ETHICKS AND CRIME.

1t is not unethical, says a promin-
ent New York attorney, for lawyer
to defend a client whom he knows to
be guilty and to put forth his best eff
forts to secure the acquittal of has
client by every legitimate means.
This may be taken as the profess
sional view, though it can hardly be
considered the ethical view, for if Il
man be guilty, to attempt to prove
him innocent is to thwart the ends
of justice.
However, it is a theory of the law
that an accused is presumed to be
innocent until he is proven guilty
though the state charges guilt and
endeavors to prove the charge-and
that he is entitled to the benefit OF
every doubt bearing on his case He
is entitled to the benefit of counsel
and Il he be not able to employ coun-
sci the court will appoint a lawyer
to defend him, in which case the OBJ
legation rests upon the defendant
counsel to exert himself in the in
teTest of his client as earnestly as if
a contingent fee depended upon his
success. Even then. If he he should
be aware that his client is guilty as
charged, the ethical view would be
that he should attempt no more than
to have the sentence mitigated-cer-
tainly not that he should endeavor to
pervert the truth and shame the law
by trying to prove himself innocent.
There are members of the legal
profession who will not take a case
which is manifestly not just for the
sake of the fee, nor defend Grimm
al whose guilt is confessed, except to
see that justice is done him with re-
spect to such mitigating circum-
stances as may be urged and such
palliations as may be properly sug-
gested There are in nearly all Grim
inal cases some palliating circum-
stances, as when man steals Loaf
of bread to satisfy the cravings of
hunger; when he Stays a fellow be-
ing under the stress of great mental
excitement or impelling grievances;
when he goes to the bad through the
