Cio Expression to Widely nlax Views on GenrrsJi JTopo- n.ka of J;;id Elfaloa Th Case pt Privately Cfcnremctl Criminals, ""When a prisoner goes to a lawyer and tells his "ha la" rullty, 'dies the average lawyer take, bla casa? Tha question cropped op out of a discussion of a noted case or two and tha interrogation was put by a ' re porter to a prominent lawyer of the ;! city. .,;.'x':v .' r-''i-.i:!:' 1 "No, indeed," was the quick reply, "la that case, unless the man wishes to plead guilty, his reply wlll be, 'I cannot defend you, though I will do all I can for you in getting you oft with aa light punlahment as possible.' Ua cannot do mora than this, as a matter of fact, without violating his oath, which mto uphold tha const I tu - tlon and tha law. There ara of course members of this profession as of all ' others, who violate its ethics, but I am speaKing oi me repuiatoie ones. ' "Go on, please," said the newspaper .man, "I believe this will be news to some people." ."The smart criminal." the attorney continued, "will not tell his lawyer ' that ha is guilty, for he knows that will settle It with the lawyer, so far as his defense is concerned. He will Insist that ho is innocent, but will tell ' the truth as to all the material facts. , No matter how convincing of his cli ent's guilt the facts as related by him may be to the lawyer, he has no right to consider them In that light. That Is a matter for the judge and the jury. His own client's statement Is final so far as he is concerned and he cannot -' go back of it A great many people, generally of the ignorant class, make the mistake of deceiving the attorney as to the aotuaJ facts in the case, and as a result bis enttn case may be overthrown by the evidence, because It has been built on a falsa foundation. "X know that the average layman thinks a lawyer will do all In his pow- ' or to clear a confessed criminal, but so far as the reputable portion of the profession Is concerned. It is never dona." A discussion an hour or two later with ancther member of the legal pro fession, a man also high-toned and of Irreproachable character, ohanced to bring up the same subject ''why, good gracious, yes," exclaim ed tha parson Interrogated. "Any law yer will do It If s his business to take the case. If the man Is guilty Its the business of the State to beat him out and prove it Its a mere matter of machinery. The law gives a man the right to avail himself and to employ the aid of counsel to avail himself of any doubt that may exist. If the mnn is guilty and Is not convicted Its the fault of the Stats. That's ben the law for hundreds of years and If It Isn't right then we ought to chantce It." All of "which Is Interesting, If for nothing sine, an going to show that it Is not only doctors who differ. BASKETBALL, TO-NIGHT. S-artans and Tljrer-. to Contwt for Supremacy at Y. M. O.
