This book to propare and been approved snd tested by a fnmone Canadiae dieti _ John Strain‘s estimate of the effects of Soci‘ty Dan‘s pardon proved to be judicially moderate. When the event occurred, !mmediâ€" ately after the joinder of issue in the sensational ejectment suit of Breed versus Breen, the popular furor against him revived, stimulated by the artful philippics of the "Metropoâ€" litan Ray" and the many other paâ€" pers that reflected its sinister light Not only had this <â€" man Strain «bused the prerogative of his high office, but he was congpiring criminâ€" aily with criminale to divert an hon Ored Inheritance and ruin that repreâ€" sentative young citizen, Adolph Breen. The few of his former assoâ€" clates who remained on «peaking terms with him advised him that his only hope of success lay in a change of venue; but they disturbed not a whit his plans for the campaign. He had croesed the river of decision; he was on the march, chariot and foot. A change of venue? It was a change of opinion that the case deâ€" manded; and that he was about to compel! CHAPTER XXVIII The Case At Issue The apathetic clerk was calling the calendar, the names falling from his lips without more meaning to him than if they were the figures of the multiplicationâ€"table. Yet each title met with its own response; each coupling Of parties was the keyâ€" note to some long comedy or traâ€" gedy, some farce Or mystery. Tanâ€" credi, as he sat in the little group clustered about Paul Breen, mused on the singular contrast between the demeanor of those to whom the courtroom was a place of monotoâ€" nous toilâ€"the judge, the lawyers, the attendantsâ€"and those to whom it was the arena wherein were fought out the battles on which all depended, whether life, honor or forâ€" tune was the stake. To how many was this dingy ro0m the parting of the ways, from which diverged paths Of glory or of ruin. By a singular connection of ideas, Tancredi was reminded of a day he had passed in ‘lhe Treacury at Washington, where he saw men handling with indifferâ€" ence blocks of metal and bits of printed paper that, outside that maâ€" gic realm, became the root of all evil. So, here, he sat watching the men who operated the mighty maâ€" chinery of the law as if its terrible potentialities were but a dream of fiction. From such fanciful musings he was recalled by the names that touched him to the quick: "Breen vs. Breen." John Strain rose in his place. and, with a alight bow to the bench, said, in a conversational tone: | All this was but the marchalling of the lists, and in no wise lessened the suspense of the partles to the trial. Adolph Breen, though he had tipped back his chair with an air of indifference, and was scribbling |meaninglece scrawls on a scrap of paper, yet watched his former partâ€" ner, JohnStrain, with an intensity of interest he could not diaguise, Paul seemed at ease and the least excited of any in the room. John Strain wore an mpassive look; but there was a new calmness, an inevitâ€" ablenese in his actions that marked Ithe advocate whose soul is in his cause. Mr. Carrington. with a veterâ€" ‘on‘s discipline, showed an aasnrance that brought to Tancredi a sickening fear Of defeat. Mr. Carrington, who sat a few feet away, also rose. "We are ready, if your Honor please. I appear for the plaintiff. Paul Breen. ‘"We are ready for the defendant,‘ he added. Then began a brief discussion be tween judge and lawyers of which Tancredi could gather only the genâ€" eral purport. He understood that Mr. Strain was maintaining that the trial would require at least one day; while Mr. Carrington, Adolph‘s counâ€" sel, was equally as confident that it could be settled n a few houre. The judge listened with a wandering eye, but with an attentive brain, and apâ€" parently inclined to Strain‘s view,. for he soon directed a courtâ€"officer to proclaim that all who were unâ€" connected with "Breen vs. Breen" might depart until further notice. Then, with a shuffling of feet, the exiled litigants, lawyers and witnessâ€" es filed out; and those who were to contest the issue in ‘"Breen ve. Breen" made themeelves at home by m choosing of the vacated places. John Strain and his legal adverâ€" sary seemed suddeniy to become of new importance, for they glanced over their respective forces aa genâ€" erals upon a battlefield might view the disposition of their squadrons and battalions. Each had chosen a part of the long table that paralleled the front of the Judge‘s desk, and was untyIng bundles of papers, and adjusting them as if they were the weapons to be caught up in an inâ€" stant and used for parry Or for thrustâ€"and so, indeed, they were. The jury, having been caught and caged, «tood up to be sworn, and then subsided again, relieved, yet fearful that they might not be able to follow the expected proceedings. Then came a pause. The rustling of papers ceased. Every whisper was â€" hushed. The judge leaned alightly toward Strain, and smiled permission to begin. That eminent counsel, thereupon, rose and made his Openng without agitation and in' the aame low tone he had used in answerng the call of the case. He spoke elowly, «imply. but with evi dent care in the choice of hia words INTELLIGENCEK possn‘r NEED Oneâ€" O DEAR NO\ A WOman | 2a0 BUTâ€" MOTHER! ARRN‘T wou Going& To Have AN INSTRUCTOR2? ,â€" @ 1931, int Peoture Seql â€" _ The Case | re, Inc. _ _"May it please the Court,; Gentleâ€" men of the Jury," he began in formal ‘mrhno.. "This is, according to the pleadings, a suit of ejectment My client, Paul Breen, as plaintiff claims title to a certain property now in posâ€" session Of Adoiph Breen, the defenâ€" Gent. This property, the Oriole Farm, is part oOf the estate of which John Strain handed the papers to the clerk of the Court, and then turned to Mr. Carrington. "It is or should be admitted in our answer," was the reply. Mr. Carrington arose in turn, and, after _ the _ usual _ complimentary phrases to court and jury, made the equally conventional motions to disâ€" miss the complaint, received the judge‘s denal with the usual remark, "I take an exception, if your Honor piease," and then proceeded to the old matter Of his defence. the late Neil Breen died seized, and | with the rest was devised by him by means of a wiii to two members of | his household, Edith Breen and Paul | Breen., The will, duly proved, gave the use of the property jointly to | these two children during thgir minority. There was a clause provtd-l ing that, in case of Edith‘s death, unâ€" married, during her minority, Paul was to inberit the whole estate.‘ Edith Breen did die, unmarried,{ when about fifteen years of age; and my client, Paul Breen, still survivâ€"‘ ing and here present, claime the said estate under the terms of said wlll.l "I offer in evidence a certified coâ€" py of the will oOf Neil Breen, and the record Of its probate." turned to Mr. Carrington. "There is no dispute as to the death of Edith Breen, unmarried and before her majority?" he asked. "Your Honor and Gentlemen of the Jury," he said, with a deepening of tone, and a severity of expression that at Once warned his hearers of the real beginning of the grapple that would result in the Overthrow of one side or the other; "behind the courteous phrases of the law e the malign passions of human nature. The legal fiction that would make the Temple Of Justice a cold, calm and dispassionate tribunal requires that we should admit the formai truth of the case presented by my learned friend. We do not, therefore, deny the will of Neil Breen, nor dieâ€" pute its terms. We admit that, beâ€" fore Edith Breen had married, or inâ€" ‘dted come to her maturity of woâ€" man hood, she had ceased to live. But, under the guise of truth, we 'shall unmask to you the nideous form of murder; and, in him who 'p)esenm himself in the attractive part of a wronged plaintff, we shall reveal to you the bloodyâ€"handed murâ€" derer whose malice, whose deadly avarice. has etruck down the sister "Then," said Strain, quietly seatâ€" ing Aimself, "that is Our case, and we ask judgment." in her young maidenhood that he might gain the property which her father, by solemn instrument and for the very best of reasons had proâ€" vded should be hers. And this vil lainous claimant has not even the grace of hypocrisy. He comes before you without even so much confiâ€" dence as might rest upon a crime concéaled ‘within his Oown _ conâ€" science. He comes to you branded a murderer by the hand of avenging Justice; and yet dares demand in her very presence the fruits of his crime. "Such is the felon, Paul Breen. It slaggers human credulity that there shoulid be found effrontery so terâ€" rible, indifference so callous. The ministers of the law, however, have learned of what degradation humaâ€" nity is capable; they have been taught, in defending the rght against the powers of evil, that there are no depths to which the vicious may not descend in attempting to carry out their devilich purposes. And, so, the law has provided against even the depravity that would make of foul murder a éteppingâ€"stone .o wealth. The law, gentliemen, has decreed that the criminal shall not profit by his crime. The law declares that, whoever may enjoy the property of the dead, it shall not be held by the ensaguined hand that is red with the 'blnod of its former owner. "The law, gentlemen? These is a higher law than that of precedents, of statues, of codes, of treatises. There is the Jaw of the human soul Adorable Children!

I will not, in‘ making proffer of this paper, tres ‘pass upon the indulgence of the Court by risingâ€"Or descendingâ€" into the regions of Oratory. No one disputes or denies the justice of the legal maxim so forcibly presented by ltl:e defendant‘s eloquent counsel; but it is the experience of all manâ€" kind that even the judicial ermine or the sacred function of the jury is no warranty against human error. The same collective wisdom tnat creâ€" ated the maxim he has quoted also has told us that it is but human to Ierr. And. therefore, the makers of our laws have entrusted to the chief ’ruler of the State powe to annual the processes Oof its courts. This power has been exercised, and Paul Breen stands before you recreated by the same legal authority thatâ€"â€" erroneodusly â€" we â€" believeâ€"destroyed h‘m. Yet we do not claim that this | recreation, this pardon, could have higher sanction than the right. We admit thae the criminal chould not profit by his own wrong. We reply onlyâ€"‘Here is no criminal; here is the victim of a judicial error. That error admitted of but one correction, and that correction has been apâ€" , plied. Paul Breen comes before this Itrihulml a claimant of his rights as an innocent man. He Ooffers in evi-‘ dence his pardon, not as a defence: against the accusation of crime, but a= a reply to the assertion that he ‘is incapable Oof denying tht crime. He admits that he should not profit ‘hy a crime; but he denies the crime.. I'l‘he pardon brings him before you | "cleared . of condemnation, not 011 gullt, if guilt existed. â€"the law that underlies and creates all Others; and this law is Godâ€"im planted in our very hearts, needing neither legislation nor judicial proâ€" nouncement. It existed before the toundations of the world. It forbids the murderer to slay that he may plunder. It sternly says to the criâ€" minal: ‘Thou shalt not profit by thy deed of violence.‘ This law we now invoke. Paul Breen was suspected, apprehended, accused, indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced for the murder of this childâ€"this Edith Breen. Died before maturity? Yes â€"she was murdered in her youth, murdered by lrie son of her mother that he might inherit the wealth to which nature herself had denied him title. Gentlemen, murder is always }loul and abhorrent; but it is most foul and most abhorrent when greeâ€" ‘d)’ avarice sharpens the knife and cool calculations drives it home." Mr. Carrington paused and searchâ€" ed a moment among the papers that lay before him. Then he in turn kanded a document to the clerk. Then, turning to John Strain, the attorney for the defendant asked in scorn: "Your Honor,‘ he said. "we offer in evidence a copy of the record in the case Oof ‘The State vs. Paul Breen‘, wth certificates Of his cenâ€" tence and incarceration thereunder." "There is no dispute as to these records?" ‘None," Strain answered politely. "The court takes judicial notice of the proceedings," the Judge added. "Then. we rest our case," was the reply; and Mr. Carrington sat down. John Strain advanced with anoâ€" ther document.
