Laura Hamilton tells Of a funny
courtroom episode which she saw one
day while playing In the south some
time ago.
A young lawyer had been appointed
by the court to defend man charged
with larceny In hts argument to the
Jury he pleaded for the acquittai OF
his client. He told of his innocent
boyhood days. of his good character
of his father, mother and brothers. In
short, he launched forth into fam.
lily history.
The prisoner, an old darby. had lis
tened with growing uneasiness to his
counsePs plea, and as the attorney
went on without a hint Of stopping
the negro was driven to desperation
Jumping to his feet. he yelled to the
court:
