"Should a lawyer defend a man charged with mnrder when he knows the man to be guilty?" This question led to an animated discussion, which, after some two hours, was brought to an end by the judge suddenly exclaim ing, "Do you see that man?" The benchers turned tlieir faces in the direction indicated by the speaker jnst in time to see a tall, lank man in shabby attire leave the building. Before a word was spoken by any of the curious benchers the judge said, as though musing to himself, though in a tono loud enough for the others to hear: "Strange that I should see that limn just at this moment and when we were discussing a question that lie could have answered. His life, like mine, has been a failure; bnt, thank God, my re grets. though many, can never be as bitter as his are. He ruined his career as a lawyer by defending a man who had confessed that he was guilty of murder. "Tell us the story," exclaimed the one known as the proctor. "He was ruined," began the judge, "by his ambition." "Ambition," suggested the solicitor, with a genial smile on his kindly, clean shaven face, "is responsible fur much good and much evil. It is ambiticn that lias made wrecks, legal driftwood, of many of us. We have dreamed of great deeds in onr profession ; we have builded fairy castles in the air. while others have by hard work succeeded. I for one"? "The story, the story!" exclaimed several of the benchers. The judge, thus urged, told his story: "Some 40 years ago it was that I en tered the small courthouse in a small town in the western section of New York. Court was in session, and the hush that had fallen upon the crowd in the room was opi ressivc. Nothing was heard at tii^t lime but tlio ticking of the clock and the l.rcatliing of tUe spec tators. The presiding judge was look ing up gome legal question in the law books before him. The rapt attention of the jurors and the eagerness of the counsel caused me to realize that a trial of more than ordinary interest and im portance' was in progress. 1 asked a by stander what the case on trial was. He gazed at me in surprise for a moment and then exclaimed. 'You must be a stranger in these parts?' " 'I am," I replied. 'I have jnst come hero from New York city to file a com plaint in an action of ejectment.' '' 'This,' replied my informant, 'is a murder trial, and there,' he poiuted in the direction I was to look, 'is the man who will certainly hang.' "I looked at the prisoner at the bar. He was a good looking young fellow about 25 years of ago. There was some thing in the expression of his pale face that convinced me of his guilt. "While the trial judge tnrned over page after page of the law books I learn ed the details of the crime." Here the story teller took a nip from the ilask the proctor handed to him and then resumed: "I learned that in his house on the outskirts of the town, ono morning two months before the day of the trial, John Peterlcin. a wealthy old man, who had been, it was said, in the habit of keeping large sums of money in his house, was found murdered, shot in the back. Tho murdered man had been seated when he was Fliot, for liis chair was overturned just as he had fallen from it. Peterkin. who was about 07 years old, lived alone with his niece, a pretty girl about 18 years old. She it was who discovered the murder. When she had sufficiently recovered from her alarm, the niece, JIaA" Peterkin, aroused the neighbors. "At first it \v:is thought that the; motive of the crime had been robbery, j bnt when the police discovered that tho safe, the door of which was unlocked and half way open, contained $1,750, and that the old man's watch had not been taken, that theory had to be aban doned. For several days the case was a mystery. Then it came to the knowl edge of the chief of police that Hascall Reuidder, the only son of a widow, whoso father had been postmaster of the little town, had been seen aronnd the house and had spoken unkindly of old Peterkin. Renidder was put under arrest. "When I had learned this much," said the jndge, "the trial judge, whom we will call Blank, looked np from the legal bosks and said, '1 will admit the .testimony objected to.' "While Jndge Blank was reviewing the law questions 1 looked at Mary Peterkin. She was seated in the rear of the courtroom and was an exceedingly pretty young women, the pallor of her, refined face illumined by large "bine eyes. She was in deep mourning, which but enhanced her beauty. " 'Proceed,' exclaimed Judge Blank. "The witness on the stand?a police officer?then testified that he had found a small revolver with an ivory handle in eome bushes just outside cf the win dow of the room where the crime had been committed. " 'Were there any marks on that re volver Y asked Horace Dash, counsel for the prisoner, the man I just pointed out to you. " 'Yes,' replied the witness. " 'What were the marks V " 'The initials M. P.,' replied the witness. " 'Did you ascertain who owned that pistol V asked Lawyer Dash. " 'Yes; Mary Peterkin.' "An exclamation of surprise went around that little courtroom. Mary Peterkin started up in bewilderment and then fell back into her chair. " 'Silence in the courtroom!' ex claimed Jndge Blank. "With a face paler than that of ei ther the prisoner or the niece of the jnnrdered man. Lawyer Horace Dash, tounsel for the prisoner, said to the wit ness, 'Step down.' "The next witness called was a wom an who had formerly beeii employed by old Peterkin as a housekeeper. She was exceedingly nervous, and her voice trembled when she swore to tell the truth. There waa a malignant expres sion on the face cf the counsel for the prisoner when he asked the witness: " 'Do you know Mary Peterkin If' " 'I do,' was tho reply. " 'She is the nieco of tho murdered man ?' " 'She is.' replied tho woman in a whisper. " 'Vou once lived with the dead man and his niece?' " 'I did.' " 'Did uncle and niece ever quarrel ?' " 'Must I answer that?" asked the old woman, turning toward Judge Blank. 44 'Yon run at, * sternly replied the judge. " 'Yes. They quarreled," faltered the witness. " 'What about?' asked tho counsel for the prisoner. " 'She?Mary?wanted to marry a man her uncle did not approve of." "All eyes were tinned toward Mary Peterkin, who, with an expression of horror on her face, sat crouched up in her chair. Every one in that courtroom seemed to realize that the testimony al ready adduced against the prisoner at tho bar -was as nothing compared with that just brought ont against the girl. The prisoner at the bar was pale and trembling and, I thought, an object of abject misery. Then the thought Hash ed across my mind that he might be in nocent. It was evident that Lawyer Dash was struggling with himself when he asked the next question. " "Did you ever hear Miss Peterkin threaten her uncle?' " '1 heard her say onco that she wished he was dead,' replied the wit ness. "With a moan of anguish Mary Pe terkin fainted. Tho prisoner started forward and, despite the efforts of the bailiffs to restrain him, exclaimed: " 'This is a shame. I am guilty, and that man'?pointing his linger at Law yer Horace Dash?'knows that 1 am.' " 'What does this mean?' asked Judge Blank, addressing the prisoner's counsel, who was leaning on the tablo and seemed about to faint. " 'I don't know, your honor,' replied the lawyer, who was seen to press his hand to his heart. " 'Let the trial proceed.' said .Tndgo Blank, 'and don't let that woman,' in dicating Mary Peterkin, 'leave this room.' " 'Stop!'exclaimed the prisoner. 'I withdraw my jilea of not guilty. I am guilty!' "For a moment silence, oppressive silence, reigned supreme. Finally the judge said, 'Do you appreciate your position?that I can pass sentence of death on you 5' " 'I do,' replied the prisoner, with a defiant look at his counsel, 'but I would like to say a few words.' " 'Proceed, sir,' said Judge Blank. " 'I committed the crime, your hon or, but not from desire for gain. It was done in a moment of anger,,just angeri and for the sake of my dear old mother.

Each year since then she paid to him neurions interest. Finally there came a day when he would not renew the mort gage. That was tho day I killed him. 1 pleaded with him, but in vain. He in sisted he would foreclose the mortgage. He called my mother a vile name. I sow the revolver on his desk, jiicked it up and aimed at him. He wheeled around in his chair toward his desk, and the bnllet entered his back. "While he was telling this story the prisoner several times pressed his hand to his left side and moaned as if in pain. " 'Have you anything else to say?" asked Judge Blank. " 'Yes; I want to say,' explained the prisoner in gasping tones, 'that Hfter I had retained that lawyer'?pointing to | Horace Dash?'I told him I was gnilty; ; that I wanted to plead guilty. Ho for ! bade iny doing so. Said it was a splen did case. Ho would acqnit me and cover : himself with glory. He said he would ask no fee. I urged that I was gnilty, but he said he could clear me. I con j sented to the plea of not guilty.'
