LINCOLN AND THE MOON
Brought Acquital His Client
lChnmbers Jnurnal.l

vine. who was with Lockwood at the
time he was murdered. This man
swore that he saw Grayson fire the
fatal shot
Now Mrs. Grayson, the mother Of
the prisoner, after vainly trying to get
one or other of the well-known law
yers in her district to defend her son,
was fortunately driven to intrust the
task to the then unknown and untried
Lincoln. This was his first case. Few
lawyers on such an occasion have so
ably and brilliantly acquitted them
selves as did Abraham Lincoln in his
defense of Grayson.
To the amaZenent of everybody in
the court, the young lawyer never ut
tered Il word or cross-examined any
OF the witnesses at the trial until So
vine appeared in the box. His cross
examination Of this man was a mas
terpiece, and as it is so short and
dramatic I give It in full:
Lincoln-And you were with Lock-
wood just before, and saw the shoot
ing?
Sovine-Yes.
LIncoln-And you stood very near
to them?
sovine-No; almost twenty feet
away.
Lincoln-NIay it not have been ten
feet?
sovine-No; it was twenty feet
away.
Lincoln-In the open field?
Sovine-No; in the timber.
Lincoln-What kind of timber?
Sovine-Beech timber.
Llncoln-And you think this pistol
is the one used?
Sovine-It looks like it.
Saw by the Moonlight.
Lincoln-You could see the defend
ant shoot, see how the barrel hung,
and all about it?
4 SOvine-Yes.
Lincoln-How near was this TO the
meeting place? "a revival meeting was
in progress, to which Lockwood was
/ going at the time OF his DEATH.
Sovine-Threc quarters of a mile
Lincoln-Where were the lights?
Soyine-Up by the minister's stand.
Lincoln-Three quarters of a mile
away?
Soyine-Yes. ] answered ye twice
Lincoln-Did you not see candle
there. with Lockwood or Grayson?
SOvine-NO. What would we want
a candle for?
Lincoln-How, then. did you see the
! shooting?
Sovine-By moonlight (defiantly).
Lincoln-You saw this shooting al
10 at night, in beech timber, three
] quarters of a mile from the lights;
saw the pistol BARREL saw the man
fire; saw it twenty feet away; saw il
all by moonlight; saw It nearly mile
from the camp lights?
Soyine-Yes. ] told you so before.
on getting this answer Lincoln pu
his hand into a side pocket and drew
forth hlue-covered book. BY thi.
time the people in the court had beer
worked up to a high pitch OF excite
ment, and were watching the gaun
young advocate with breathless inter
est.
Tho book turned out to be a we'll
known almanac. Having got the per
mission Of the court 10 put it in as
evidence. Lincoln soon proved that OF
4 the night of the crime the moon was
unseen. and in fact did not rise unit
o'clock the next morning.
I SOvine Arrested.
Then, with dramatic suddenness, hi
turned TO the Judge and asked that So
vine should be arrested at once ant
charged with the murder OF Lockwood
saving that nothing but a motive t.
clear himself could have induced hin
to swear away so falsely the life Of
ono who never did him harm"
The wretched Sovine at once col.
lapsed and then confessed that he hat
i. killed Lockwood accidentally.
