FORUM?- This new danger overshadowed the rest. Tugging at the black robe of a judge. I whispered in great trepidation: Sire, your gracious Honor. will they HOL massacre us now? Xo! and a sarcastic grimace, which I took for a smile. played around his ghostly mouth. They are lawyers. beating their imbecile tom-toms. Can you read the inscrip- tions on those hideous things? Indeed upon the drawn skin of the tom-toms large letters were discernible. I read them: PRESL'lIPTIOXS. and on the other OBJECTIOXS. A sinking sensation Hooded me. alleviating the horror of my situation. and I began to watch the Plutonian panarama with quiet unconcern. You reversed my decisions, didn't you? a ghost at my side sneered at the figure whom I had questioned regarding Hannibal's barbarians. Chief justice. bah! XYell. Jim. the Supreme Court Justice spoke calmly. you were not a bright bird. One of the inexplicable accidents of politics made you judge. I knew you when you were a student at Detroit College of Law. - Shut up. you inveterate zero-slingerf' At a distant corner were grouped the English jurists in their sumptuous trappings. They scanned the field with cold reserve. They attracted my attention because a belligerent ghost. an American one. was shaking both his tists at the Britishers and shouting furiously: Down with your precedents. You have perpetrated enough evil upon American jurisprudence. You have fostered confusion. I say. down with you all, You. You. Lord Nottingham. hay the imps of hell shake your bones to perdition. You and your Statute of Frauds. It engendered more frauds than poor mortals could think of. Take away your accursed traditions and doctrines. we want to develop an American body of laws. Down with you . . . He turned and faced the American ghosts. fire in his eyes and thunder in his voice he belched forth: Brothers. when is it that in search of a rule for our conduct. we shall no longer be bandied from Coke to Croke. from Planden to Year Books. from thence to the dome books. from ignotium to ignotius in the inverse ratio of philosophy and reason? Cl The disastrous climax. was at hand when the Britishers and Americans would launch the death struggle. A gong sounded. It was the bailiff giving the alarm. All vanished. Footsteps were heard from outside. The door of the library opened with a flourish and a classmate entered. Hello. Shorty. all alone? Yeah. all alone! Never again went I into the library in the mornings. H. K. ARMEX. '3l. Cl Defense Atty. Sampson in People vs. Melvin. X.
