AS TO SINGING BLUEBIRDS. minent Criminal Lawyer's Plea Was Hardly According to the Facts of the Case. - A pair of ex - jurors were swap. ping recollections thc other day. The retired member of the brace agreed with the one who expects to serve some more that there had been cases in which jurors were not altogether constrained to go according to the evidence , says the New York Sun. "I was some : years ago on the jury that tried Jere Dunn for kill- ing Jim Elliott , the prizefighter , in Chicago , " said the retired onp. "Jere Dunn was a BeauBrummcl _ gambler. Jim Elliott was-well , hc was a prizefighter. "The killing occurred in a questionable - tionable rcsort. There was notli- ing in the case that appealed to a New Englander such as I nUl. 'Vhcn the evidence was in I didn't know how I stood. It was a case of six and six. "Dunn's lawyer was Emery StOl'l'S , the brilliant , erratic Storrs , thc great criminal lawyer 1 of his day , a wit , but-wcl1 , StorrtJ is dead. "In his peroration Storrs said , as well as I remember his words : 'Gentlcmen of thc jury , acquit Jere Dunn , and tomorrow the sun will shine brighter and thc bluc. birds will sing more joyously. ' "N ow when I was a young man in Connecticut the woods were full of bluebirds and robins ! ! and , , . ! o .n. . . w , . . . . . .a . . . other plumaged species , but thc bluebird was my favorite. killed robins and sparrows and other things that bad feathers , but I never harmed a bluebird. "Storrs' reference to the blue- birds touched me. When the jury retired we were all about of one mind and Jcre 'Dunn was acquit- ted. "Some months later I was at the banquet which Emery Storrs gave to Hnl'y Irving , after the sheriff's little claim on behalf of one of Storrs' numerous creditors bad been eased , and during the evening . ing when the .wine was playing the beater to' thc cockles of my heart I told Storrs about the few lines in his defense of Dunn that caught me. " 'That was very good of ; you ' he said , abut I made an awful slip in that scntencc. If you know } anything about a bluebird you lwnw it can't sing any more than a cow. ' "Thcn I remembered that I had never heard a bluebird sing. "Sir Henry-hc had not been knighted thcn-Iaughcd as he us- toned to the story , and said , in his most gracious manner : " 'I thc barrister presume referred fcrred to thc blue bird he was askk ing tile jury to releasc. ' " The Jack Tar. Brown , broad-shouldered I , round-faccd , merry fellows , the Japanese seamen , though squat _ and short in stature , are decidedly a. pleasant-looking and intelligent lot. Dressed navy fashion , silk neckerchief and all complete , when on shore leave they are usually under thc charge of a petty officer , who is held responsi- blc for their behavior and due re- turn to thc ship. Respectful , polite . litc , and sober , they arc popular with everyone in thc placc. And never does one hear of their overstaying . staying their leave and being taken aboard by the policc-a not infrequent occurrence when the ships of other powers are in port. -Detroit Free Press I , - - - " < ' . , . - - .
