Aaron Burr's Dramatic Accusation In
• Murder Trial.
It to undoubtedly true that lu for
mer tunes In all parts of tbe country
i it waa conaldered more Important and
more creditable to save a man’s life
or liberty than to get a verdict where
| property only waa concerned. These
, days Lave passed, however, as far as
' New York Is concerned, and In a lesser
degree, possibly, in nearly all tbe other
states, and despite the agitation on tbe
subject they are never likely to re-
: turn. It to lntereetlng to turn back
to tbe earliest days of tbe republic
and tbe careers of two lawyers who
would have been giants In any age or
in any country and wbo were antag
onistic in character and purpose—Alex
ander Hamilton and Aaron'Burr. Both
men accepted criminal as well as civil
cases. One of the greatest efforts of
Hamilton's life was his appearance for
one Crosswell, charged with publish
Ing a scandalous libel upon Thomas
Jefferson. Tbe court was divided in
its verdict, but tbe prisoner was never
punished.
Aaron Burr, that erratic genius who
lacked a balance wheel, to said never
to have lost a case in which be alone
was counsel. It is also of record that
be won a case in which by a queer
trick of fate bis associate counsel was
Hamilton. It was a murder ease. Tbe
actions and manner of tbe principal
witness against the prisoner seemed
to Burr exceedingly suspicious, and it
Is said that both Burr and Hamilton
were undecided in their own minds
which was the guilty party—the wit
ness or tbe prisoner. Hamilton's sum
ming up was perfunctory. Burr be
gan to address tbe Jury when it was
nearly dark.
Tbe witness for tbe
prosecution was leaning against a pil
lar. His face was pallid and covered
with perspiration. He listened intent
ly to tbe lawyer. Suddenly Burr seiz

rushed from the courtroom and tbe
prisoner was acquitted.—F. P. Ward
