Sharp, In
A Case of Elastic
Conscience.
lOrigtnal.]
When Truesdale Scott, prominent
banker and promoter, was convicted
of misappropriation of funds every one
said that the eloquence of tbe prose
cuting attorney, Rowland Ruddock, bad
done the trick. Scott bad been c&nght'
In a big commercial panic with too
great a load on bis bands and bad to
go under. Indeed, to save himself he
bad placed himself under tbe ax of tbe
law. Ruddock bad a political scheme
marked out for himself, and Scott's con
viction was a great card for him with
thousands of voters who hated "the
plutocrats." Ruddock was to be gov
ernor of the state, then senator. Scott
was convicted Just as tbe gubernatorial
contest was coming on. But Scott had
succeeded In getting a new trial, which
came on Just before the election. It
was expected that Ruddock would
make the effort of his life in this sec
ond trial, for whichever way the anti
monopoly vote was cast so went the
election. What was the astonishment
of every one when ha made so weak
an effort as to be accused of pandering
to the plutocratic Interest. Scott was
acquitted, and Ruddock was defeated
In the election.
About the time that Ruddock left the
law school he met Margaret Cushman,
a girl of very strong character. She
had a conscience of cast iron. Noth
ing could swerve her from what she
considered the right. She was much
pleased with Ruddock, as he was with
her, but she feared that his sense of
principle was not as Btrong In him as
It should l»e. He strove to convince her
that she had mistaken a certain elas
ticity for something worse, citing the
Puritan as an example of a too rigid
conscience.
They were engaged, and the engage
ment lasted until Ruddock defended a
notorious rogue und by his brilliant
legal tactics acquitted Jjim. Margaret
knew all about this case and could not
see how her lover could make his ac
tion accord with his conscience. In
vain he attempted to show her that
there can be but one duty of a lawyer
toward his client. He must do his
best. "This," said Margaret, "makes a
courtroom a mere legal arena. It is not
Justice that decides questions. Victory,
irrespective of guilt or innocence,
perches upon the banner of the most
brijllant legal knight." "I regret." re
plied Ruddock, "that this is too IsrgiP
ly thecondjtton'of.oir courts, but it
doesn't absolve me from doing my best
for my client, and I do not sea how it
can be different." Margaret called this
dpvil reasoning, and, not being willing
to tie berself to a man who would
clear a client who was a rogue, she
broke tbe engagement
Twenty years passed. Ruddock was
In his prime and was elected prosecut
ing attorney In a large city. His elec
tion went with one of those waves of
reform peculiar to our people. It was
said that convictions could ^tot he pro
cured on account of political pulls of
prisoners. Ruddock was put In by the
best men of both-parties to see that
rascals were sent to prison or the gal
lows. After his entry upon the duties
of bis office there was a perceptible
difference In the amount of crime per
petrated till at last It reached a mini
mum.
The night before Trueadate Scott's
second trial was to come up Ruddock
was sitting in bis rooms—he was a
bachelor—forming plans to fcrush the
banker. Suddenly the door opened and
a woman entered. Ruddock looked up
at her In surprise.
"The district attorney, I believe?''
she said In a choked voice.
"I am."
"Tomorrow you are to try Truesdale
Scott?"
"Yes."
"I come to ask your forbearance. Mr.
Scott is in no way a guilty, man.
Caught In a maelstrom as he wsb
swept along, be grasped methods some
of which were not within the law.
Upon you rests his conviction or ac
quittal. Is It your duty to make one of
your brilliant efforts against him?"
"A lawyer's duty is to do the best
he can for his client A prosecutor's
duty Is to send tbe accused If possible
to state prison."
"Inexorable as ever."
"I inexorable?"
"Yes. You and I talked over these
matters when we were but half our
present age. I am Margaret Cushman,
Truesdale Scott's wife."
"Margaret!"
"Then you spoke of an elasticity
that you said I mistook for something
worse."
"I still am subject to such elasticity.
I do not consider It my bounden duty
to coDvlct your husband, though the
masses of the community think that It
Is. I was elected by them to carry out
a certain programme. To fall to do
my best to convict your husband
would be to bring down upon me the
anathemas of these constituents. Nev
ertheless that elasticity you have
spoken of tells me that the better part
for me will be to make a weak fight
that your husband may go free."
She stood like a statqe, lost In a
dream of the past. Now that elastic
ity she had considered another name
for evil stood between ber husband
and a prison. He advanced toward
her. took her hand and pressed his
lips to It. Then, turning ber gently
toward the door, he said;
"Go! This is a dangerous place for
you to be seen. If It were known that
you bad been here it would take away
my power to grant your request."
She passed out silently, muffling her
face as she had come in. The next
day after t.he trial Ruddock was ruined
politically, and Truesdale Scott went
to his family • free and vindicated man.
