Show NEW KIND OF AN IRISHMAN Definition That by His Own Confession Confes-sion Was Very Little Far From the Truth. Apropos of the very telling retorts that Sam Schcpps made to Cross-Examiner Mclntyre in the Becker case, Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth connoisseur, con-noisseur, said: "I like to see anyone get back at an impudent lawyer. I got back at such a lawyer myself the other day. "The man was my counsel in a customs cus-toms dispute over some Gobelin tapestries tapes-tries that I'd imported. His name had, like my own, a 'Mick' in it, and 1 said to him, as I settled his very large bill: " 'Are you an Irishman, sir?' " 'No,' he answered, with a pompous laugh,, 'but I've made a lot of money out of Irishmen in my time.' " 'Oh, I see,' said I. T suppose we might call you an Irishman by extraction, ex-traction, then.' " |
