Patrolman Schiff explains the true nobility of New York's finest to the court. So why shouldn't I hit him if he lies? Prosecutor Fazzano displays bloody underclothes - but with infinite delicacy. Perhaps this will refresh your memory? Counsel elicits the details of the filthy attack, while the relentless prosecutor demands justice. Jail is not good enough for this brute .

Opposing counsel approaching the bench to explain a questionable point to the Judge. X THOMAS SWAN BARRISTERS UNION While others played catscradle and wrote about the vertical integration of the oil industry, the Beef 'n Gin Society tried three cases of horizontal rape -- plus five other criminal and six civil cases. The atmosphere was glutinous with clotted blood, dew-eared counsel mutinous. But ageless justice triumphed and twelve defendants were freed. But the well-oiled machine ran in spite of itself and evil conquered good. Astute counsel unmercifully pruned the underbrush from hiring partners lured from their Wall Street factories. No Portia she, Miss Goldblatt dispensed with pants and opened to court and jury wrapped in Chanel No. 5. She won, but the People lost. Senor josephsberg, the famous South American seducer, successfully defended himself Cagainb D in a paternity suit on the grounds that every Tho-mas, Deeck, and Hairry savoired his beloved in addition to himself.

CORBEY COURT Corbey Court is an informal organization of about 150 law students, who can satisfy their gastronomic values under the efficient administration of Max Hoefer. Today the little house on Wall Street is pretty overcrowded in the winter season, but in April and May the adjoining patio is opened up, and graduates- to-be eat under spring sunshine and gaily-colored umbrellas, discussing the com- ing Bar exams and the few girls they know who are old enough to vote. Corbey also holds occasional dances on football weekends, which emphasize staying power above all, the participants making up in volume what a three- piece orchestra lacks. Dances, and other sedentary activities effectively divert the members' attention from the unpleasant fact that the statute of limitations on the 1890 furnace has run . . . the whole building is likely to go up in a puff of smoke any day now. Corbey Officers: Fin! row: W, Barton, C. Fraser. Second faux' D. Allen, J. McGrath, R. Laven- der, D. Klinges. Max watching his charges, as they reify their gastronomic values.
