Cleveland Plain Dealer. When his
turn came to be interviewed he said
that he wanted to sue a man for heavy
damages. He had been run down by a
motor car; his shoulder was dislocat-
ed, his clothes torn, his ankle sprained
severely. He had been knocked into
the gutter and the driver of the car
had put on full speed without trying
to ascertain the condition of the vic
tim. The latter had taken the number
of the car, however, and he said he
could produce witnesses. 1t was good
case, and the lawyer agreed to take it.

There wouldn't have been much of a
story in this if the motor car victim
hadn't gone to five other lawyers in
the same building before he consid-
cred that his case would be sufficiently
well handled. He collected about $50
and then recovered from his bruises
and disappeared.
