graceful lines of her neck and bosom,
glittering with precious stones. An

Before Mr. Jeffries had time to re-

nounced loudly.
Alicia went forward, followed by
her husband, to greet her guests.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1912-01-24

Lawyers are such fatterers,"
laughed Alicia as she nervously famed
herself, and looked around to see if
her guests were watching
Lawyers only fatter when they
want to-" interrupted Mr.. Jeffries,
who had just Joined the group.
Alicia turned to greet a new arrival
and the lawyer continued chatting
with his host.
II suppose you'll take a rest now,
after your splendid victory" said the
banker.
Judge Brewster shook his head
obviously
No, sir, We lawyers never rest.
We can't. No sooner is one case dis
posed of than another crops up to
claim our attention. The trouble with
this country is that we have too
much law. If | were to be guilty of
an epigram would say that the coun-
try has so much law that it is prac-
tically lawless"
$50 you're preparing another case,
eh?" said Mr.. Jeffries, interested.
What is it-a secret?"
"Oh, MOI" answered the LAWYER.
"the newspapers will be full of it in
day or two. We are going to bring
suit against the city. It's really
test case that should interest every
citizen; a protest against the high
handed actions of the police"
The banker elevated his eyebrows
Indeed" he exclaimed What
have the police been doing now?"
The lawyer looked at his client in
surprise.
Why, my dear sir, you must have
seen by the papers what's been going
ON in our city Of late. The papers
have been full of it. Police brutality,
illegal arrests, assaults in station
houses, star-chamber methods that
would disgrace the middle ages. A
state Of affairs exists to-day in the
city of New York which is inconceiv-
able. Here we are living in a civil
lied country, every mans liberty is
guaranteed by the constitution, yet
citizens, as they walk our streets, are
IN greater peril than the inhabitants
of terror-stricken Russia. Take a po-
lice official Of Capt. Clinton's type.
His only notion of the law is brute
force and the night stick A bully by
nature, man of the coarsest instincts
and enormous physical strength he
loves to play the tyrant. In his pre-.
cinct he poses as q kind of czar and
fond!y imagines he has the power to
administer the law itself. BY his
brow-beating tactics, intolerable un-
der Anglo-Saxon government, he is
turning our police force into a gang
OF ruffians who have the city terror
stricken. In order to further his polit-
ical ambitions he stops at nothing.
He lets the guilty escape when influ-
ence he can't resist Is brought to
bear, but in order to keep up his rec
ord with the department ne makes ar
rests without the slightest justifica-
tion To secure convictions he manu-.
factures, with the aid of his detec-
tives, all kinds of perjured evidence.
To paraphrase a well-known saying,
his motto is: 'Convict-honestly, if
you can-but convict"

else would it do for humanity? For
instance, can it help me, the lawyer"
DR.. Bernstein smiled.
You gentlemen of the law have al
ways scoffed at the very suggestion
of bringing psychology to your aid,
but just think, sir, how enormously it
might aid you in cross-examining q
witness. You can tell with almost
scientific accuracy if the witness is
telling lies or the truth, and the same
would be clear to the Judge and the

CHAPTER ~.

Twins, oiiiidutly Illuminated with
soft incandescent lights artistically
arranged behind banks of flowers,
were filled with people. In the air
was the familiar buzz always present
in a room where each person Is trying
to speak at the same time. On all
sides one heard fragments OF inept
conversation
so good of you to come! How we'll

think"

weather."
Il saw you az the opera"
Doesn't she, look sweet?"
"Oh, ! think it's just lovely"
People now arrived in quick success
sion and. forming little groups, the
room soon presented an animated
scene. The women in their smart
gowns and the men in their black
coats made pleasing picture.
MY dear Mrs. Jefrries how do you
do this EVENING"" exclaimed a rich,
deep voice.
The hostess turned to greet an ell
derly and distinguish ed-looking man
who had just entered. Directly hs
came in voices were hushed, and on
every side one heard the whisper:
There's Judge Brewster, tie ia.
nous lawyer"
There was general craning of
necks to catch glimpse OF the emf
nent 1urist whose brilliant address TO
the jury In recent cause celebre
had saved an innocent man from the
electric chair.
Richard Brewster was a fine ex.
ample Of the old school statesman
lawyer of the Henry Clay type. He
belonged to that small class of public
men who are independent Of all
coteries, whose only ambition is to
serve their country well, who know
no other duty than that dictated by
their oath and conscience a bril-.
liant and forceful orator, there was
