The county burial bill. even at one
mill. will in tie twelve months for

into several dollars. This is due to
the fact that Phoenix, the seat Of
Maricopa county, is famed resort for
tuberculosis victims.
Behind the bid lies the reason. 1t
is worth something for the undertake
ing firm to get its name in the local
papers every time a pauper dies. At
the same time, one can never tell by
the appearance a living man presents
what his estate will divulge. 1t has
been demonstrated that not only do
the undertakers who have the county
contract not lose money, but actually
make a good profit in addition to the
advertising.
1t frequently happens that one case
makes up for the losses on whole
years contract and leaves many other
cases Of supposed indigents to create
a handsome profit for the business.

Threat to Sing Duet Wins Judgment

Murdoch and Panacoast stated their
willingness to submit the case without
argument, but before doing so they
wanted permission to sing duet. A
settlement was reached by conference
and a substantial judgment agreed
upon in favor Of the plaintiff.
Murphy one year ago won an i'm
portant suit by singing to the Jury
after he had completed his argument
He sang a few stanzas of a familiar
old song. Without leaving the box
the jury returned verdict for his
client. Opposing attorneys appealed,
alleging that Murphy in singing went
outside the record, that his conduct
was improper and that having a fine
and well-trained voice, he took undue
advantage Of counsel on the other
side. The Supreme court held with
Murphy, deciding that an attorney
could talk or sing his arguments to
the jury and that there was no statute
against such proceedings.
