A Deadly Expert

A certain great Chicago physician
and A. S. Trude, a lawyer OF that
city, are close friends, but one time
when the physician was called as
an expert witness in a case Trude
was on the opposite side and had
to cross-examine the physician,
The physician had given his ex-
pert testimony. 1t upheld the con-
tention of his side perfectly.
When 1t came Trude's turn he
squared away, elared at his friend
and. after the usual preliminary
questions, began the examination;
Doctor, you are frequently called
into consultation when prominent
men are i'll in this community are

Trude knew that his friend was
called in consultation In almost ev-
cry big case In Chicago, and there
was a malicious gleam In his eye
as he named dead man after dead
man and asked If the expert had
attended them. After he had
named about a dozen prominent
citizens who had passed away he
turned to the jury with a wave OF
his hand, as II to say, There's

The soldiers of the Confederacy,
