A RESOLUTION FOR LAWYERS.
Joseph H. Choate recently said at a lawyeis' dinner:
"We lawyers couldn't do better than resolve, on the new year, to be gentler in our cross-examinations. Rudeness in cross-examination never, never pays. This fe a taut/h that I once saw proved in a damage suit.
"In this case a cross-examining lawyer shouted at a witness in overalls :
" 'You there in the overalls, how much axe you paid for teMimg untruths?'
" 'Less than you are,' the witness ietorted, 'or you'd be in overalls, too.' "
