Show I LAWYERS AVOID DEAF CLIENTS I Are a Handicap to Their Efforts In the Courtroom A man In tho Tombs for theft consulted con-sulted three different lawyers each of whom seemed unwilling to undertake his defense says the New York Press The fourth man Interviewed was also on the point of declining the case Look here the accused broke out angrily whats the matter with you fellows anyhow This Isnt a difficult case You ought to be able to get me oft easily and Im willing to pay The trouble Is this said tho fourth man frankly You are very deaf No lawyer likes to defend a deaf man unless un-less he Is hard pushed for clients or Is going to receive a tremendously big fee A deaf man Is so vefy likely to queer his own case If ho would only trust Implicitly to the lawyer he would bo all right but that Is something ho seldom does He cannot hear what is going on about him so he flies Into a panic and fancies his lawyer Is neglecting neg-lecting his interests and the first thing anybody knows ho blurts out something that ruins the case I really cant blame those other men for turning turn-ing you down I shall do the same thing unless you will promise upon your honor not to speak only when I tell you to |
