Lippet, probably relying on the charge of the Judge, as he again seated himself, with the air of a main who felt that his success was certain. When Mr. But let me claim your attention, while we look over the particulars of this heinous offence. Here Mr.
Lippet allowed this conciliatory offering to be accepted, and judiciously paused, while the spirit of peace was exercising its influence over the two; but the Judge interposed his authority. This is an improper place for such dialogues, he said; proceed with your examination of this witness, Mr. Lippet, or I shall order the next.

Edwards, said Lippet, dropping all reserve from his manner, you are called a curious man; but if you can tell me how a jury is to be prevented from finding a verdict of guilty, if this case comes fairly before them, and the proof is clear, I shall acknowledge that you know more law than I do, who have had a license in my pocket for three years.
"The fair young man is meant for Ben Lippet," said his wife, "and the dark one is Charlie Foss. It must be. It's no use shutting your eyes to things."

I am not rich, Mr. Lippet; far from it I am poor, and I have been hoarding my salary for a purpose that lies near my heart; but, be fore that old man should lie one hour in a jail, I would spend the last cent to prevent it.
