Privileged Communications
In a court action it is not only
the trickery of the opposing law
yer that al attorney has to fear
but also the tr.ekery or evas-
iveness Of his own client which can
be just as dangerous. Many a
client loses an honest ase by tink-
ering with the truth. If you have
a good lawyer whom you trust
tell him everything. Failure to do
this is just as silly as concealing
your symptoms and habits from
your doctor-It's your healt' at

good cases are lost on account of
evasiveness, | believe, than for any
other reason.
Not long ago a lawyer lost a
perfectly good case because the
opposition sprung a witness on
him for which he was utterly I'M

client afterwards. "Why didn't
