EYE OF JUSTICE FLIcKEREn
IN View OF Subsequent Happening
Counsel Might 20 Pardoned for
pouhtlno Courts statement.

Lawyers in New York scanned the
plans Of the new court house eagerly
for one detail which has been over
looked in the general discussion Of the
design. That detail had less to dc
with the administration OF justice than
with the prevention of crime. The ju.
dicial ermine might be hung where the
moths might eat 1t. or thieves might
break in and steal-but what OF coun.
sells hat and overcoat? In short, what
the learned attorneys OF New York
city desired was ample cloak.room "a
cilities for the repose Of their surplus
garments In winter time. That has
been a real problem in the Anticipated
county court house, and more than .
few lawyers have cursed. not the steal
ing from the city In connection with
that structure in the halcyon days Of
Tweed. but the stealing from counsel
in later days. when overcoat and hat
must find precarious storage in open
court room.
There was the case OF the lawyer
who appeared before the supreme
court last winter. He was earnestly
interested in his case. The plaintiffs
on the other side were nothing short
OF "hold-up men," who had instigated
suit against his clients only for the
purpose Of making a proposition to be
bought on" Counsel's indignation
was fully aroused.
SS,"I am sure, your honor" he said In
his argument. that the courts OF this
state win not permit an act OF theft
before their very eyes,"
The court interrupted. Is.
"The courts of this state, announce
the judge. ponderously and politically
'are here for the punishment Of the
wrongdoer, no matter what his estate
may be. The courts eyes are far.see
ing. Every upright citizen Is the eye
Of this tribunal, for the detection OF
theft and crime Of every Sort" etc.
Counsel. for his part, was gratified
that the Institution Of justice, and the
agencies. were SO alive to the public's
veal, and would prevent theft no mat.
ter how remote, etc. SO the case wound
its way to dreary end. Decision was
reserved
The counsel turned to the chair
Just behind him to- gather up his hat
and overcoat They had both been
stolen under the far-seeing eye Of tho
