MADE A DIFFERENCE.
He Saw There Wan Real Danger and
Woke Dp to a Certain
Hecenaltjr.
“It only required eight words onoe tc
give me as servere a Jolt as ever came
my way In those early years when I
was proud of my first single,’' said a
well known Washington members of
the bar, relates the Post, when the talk
had veered around to the subject of trials
and tribulations of newly-made lawyers, j
“It happened In the early ’80‘s, and.
although I wasn’t exactly briefless at
the time, I wasn’t getting any more
casses than I could handle.
“One day a couple of Texans, both
of them holding good positions at the
capitol, got into an altercation, and one
of the m gavetheother a severe trouncing.
The victor in the fight, a huge, breezy
man, with a gigantic spread-eagle mus
tache, was arrested for assault, and re
leased on. bail. A friend of his was a
friend of mine, and this mutual friend,
willing to toss a case my way, sent the
Texan to my office for advice. I took his
case. He didn’t pppear to be even a lit
tie bit worried about it, although I en
deavored to Impress upon him the dif
ference between the District of Colum
bia brand of Justioe and that prevailing
down in ‘San Aatone,’ where he hailed
from.
“The Texan who lost out in the
fight was pretty barfly hurt, and the
grand Jury indicted my client for assault
In the first degree. That looked pretty
bad, and I hunted my Texan' up and told
him so.
“ ‘I’m afraid you are taking this mat
ter a little too complalsantly,’ I said to
him. ‘But It’s really a bad job, from
every point of view. I want to impress
that upon you. You don't appear to ap
preciate the fact that there’s quite a fair
chance of vnnr havina to f?n to orison
tor this thing.’
“ ‘Say, is that right, podner?* the
Texan asked me, for the first time be
ginning to look a bot alarmed over the
situation.
“ ‘It is decidedly so,’ I told him.
“He got up from the chair and strode
up and down the room, tugging at his
mustache for a minute. Then he plumped
himself back into his c>"»ir.
“‘By h—11,’ he bawled, banging on
his desk with his first, ‘I’ve got to get a
lawyer!’ ’’
