former 'Scnuvtor Stewart of Nevada.
"I (Mico hoard that ^roat lawyer,
Senator Davis oC Minnesota, say,
'Wive.li ?a lu'aii places his life in my i
bands there is swine danger that T i

is.no dano'or that lie will hanjr.' 1
"'Senator .Davis moaaiu1 to convey j
the idva that he would resoirt to every ;
conceivable iwans to save (lie* life of ;
any client who placed that life in his <
keepin<r. That was the principle
which efneonipassvd me when T was |
in criminal practice. Because I went I
?to extremes in saving a man from the i
gallows I quit criminal practice. t
"My las! criminal case w-as n sin tr- 1
nlair one. f was practicin.v l.:nv in <
Nevada and had achieved quite a re- i
putiatwn as uv erwniiual lawyer by i
reason of several almost phenomenal \
successes, as luck would have it. The i
rougher element seemed to have con- i
fidenee in me and to fewl safy in plac- ;i
in<r their in.toresls in my charge. Thus ji
ij. happened 'that whem a man named i
Ellis wns :i rrr>..f.n.l f?n* l.-llliiw .1
named O'Brian, on. a mining ela ton. a
friend ?>f Ellis came to me and paid c
me a retainer to defend Kllis. 1 1

any in.|uriies as to details or parti- 1<

In fact, 7 did not see how KMi.s was to o
haw a 'illost of a show for his life. I >'
could find no pilea on which to de- 1;
fend him. The community was pre- :i
jsnliccd against him, amd some of my y
'best fri'end.s came >to me amd befrsred "
mo no.t to defend him. I had accept- s
ed the retaineir, and T was Ellis' lawyer.
It. was my duty to save, him, if ?'
possible. OonfiequciiiMy T told mv S'

made a bluff of telling all over town o
that T was going to clean* Ellis. M-ean- li

plams for my eli/ent. M
"Omily one yeair previous to the w
triial of Ellis a popular young Irish- O
man named Barney had Wen convicted

dvMice. (Subsequently the irend m?ur- II

ease of poor unfortunate Barney was f1!
fresh in t?he minds of all. -and (lie man
who had been his attorney -and had ,v<
ean'ne.stily plea'dwd for his life, was tr
now .the presiding judge. Moreover, w
the principal witness against my main tr
Ellis had been t.he principal witness
against poor Barney. di
'"There was lanother witness, w!io Tl
was afflicted with 'an impediment in sN
his speech. 'When excited lie would at
