SHOWS THAT DELAY
SOMETIMES PAYS
Attorneys Indulge In Rcmtncsccnccs
of Other Days Attorney
Cleverly Got Man
Free.
Sovcrtil attorneys of the Jackson
county bar -were indulging in rem
iniscences the other day nnd ono of
thera told the following story of n
Into member of the Jnckson county
bar in illustration of the many traps
laid for the feet of the unwary at
torney. Tho attorney in question
had served on the supremo bench of
Oregon, and afterward ns circuit
judgo of this judicial district, and
had returned to the practice of his
profession in tho same court whero
he had formerly presided. No law
yer in Oregon or on the coast had n
more profound knowledge of juris
prudence than had this counselor nnd
he was an acknowledged authority on
obtrttsc points of law.
His first caso after leaving the
bench was in defending a young man
on a charge of horse stealing. Tho
day of the trial came, the defendant
arraigned, a plea of not guilty enter
ed nnd tho jury empanelled. It was
a prima facia case. The accused had
hired tho horse, rode him to Jack-1
sonville nnd sold him, then spent the
money in saloons. Tho district attor
ney just beginning practice, imagin
ed ho had an untriablc case, and
took extra prido in the fact that he
was about to defeat so eminent mi
attorney. Tho state's caso was nil
in, nnd the defendant was placed on
the stand by his counsel. All fore
noon the counsel for defendant, plied
him with long, irrelevnnt and seem
ingly meaningless questions. Several
times he was admonished by the trial
judge that he was wasting tho time
of the court, but he kept on nnd lis
reputation as an ex-supreme and
circuit judge probably saved him
from n stronger rebuke. Finally the
noon hour came and court adjourned.
At tho reconvening of court in the
afternoon, the grand jury, which hnd
found the indictment, came in with
their report and asked to be dis
chnrged for the term. The order was
made and then the ex -judge got busy.
"May it please the court," he said,
"I move that the indictment against
this defendant be dismissed for the
reason that it does not allege spe
cific facts to constitute a crime un
der tho laws of Oregon."
Tho presiding judge looked hastily
over the document, the young dis
trict nttorney was dumfounded, but
the counsel for the defendant was
right. Then theTenson of his dilatory
tactics was apparent. Once the
grand jury adjourned there was no
way to reemdy the defect and the cli
ent must be released. After examin
ing tho matter from all sides the pris
oner wns ordered set free.
"What shall I do now?" he asked
his counsel.
"Young man," replied tho lawyer.
"If I were you I would leave this
country within twelve hours, even if
I had to steal another horse to do it."
And tho story goes that the client
did both.
