No Desire to Catch Her. James F. Swccnoy, of tho Suffolk (Mass.) bar, Is noted for the brightness and aptness of his relorte. "Recently in a case a woman was very refractory under cross-examination, and although the lawyerUHed all politeness and mildness, mild-ness, sharp and unsatisfactory rephes wero received. Her meek and humble husband was present In court, Mr. Sweeney tried another lnnocont ques-tori, ques-tori, when the lady responded with vindictive fire flashing- from her eyest 'Mr. Lawyer, you needn't think you can catch me; no, sir; you can't catch me.' With his most pleasing smilo Mr. Sweeney, responded: 'Madam, I have not tho slightest desire to catch you, and your husband looks to mo aa if he was sorry ho had succeeded.' A ripple rip-ple of laughter went round tho courtroom, court-room, tho judee stroked his mustache to. hide a smile, and tho crier rapped for order." Law Notes.
