TUTTLE (calling the roll)--" Mr. DeLaMatyr!"

   PRINCE--" Here."

    TUTTLE-"I have you marked absent yesterday, Mr. De La Matyr, is that correct?"

    PRINCE--"No sir."

    CLASS--"Where do you get that stuff Prince?"

    TUTTLE--Gentlemen, gentlemen, I wish you would not answer for one another. I must keep my record straight. However, if Mr. De La Matyr says he was here yesterday, I will take his word for it. I always take every man's word for it. Mr. De La Matyr, you may read the first case in today's lesson.

    (Whereupon Prince recites brilliantly.)

    TUTTLE--This case, gentlemen, was tried before a jury. I myself have tried a great many jury cases in my time--a great many--and most successfully, too. In particular I remember one case

    STUDENT--" Professor, I don't understand who gets the limitation over after the life estate."

    TUTTLE--" I want you gentlemen to remember that I am not a professor. I am a lawwwyerrr!! In fact there is but one other lawyer in Lincoln who has seen the years - - -

    CLASS--" But Judge, who gets that limitation?"

    TUTTLE--Be patient, gentlemen. This case involves the rule in Shelly's case - - -

    SHELLY WEITE (wakes up)-"I haven't that case, Professor, the last one we recited on was the last one I had."

    TUTTLE (continues)-"We will call on some other member of the class to explain that point. Mr. Stewart,--Mr. C. L. Stewart!"

C. L. STEWART--" Mr. Stewart just this moment left the room, professor."

    TUTTLE--Very well. (Bell rings.) Gentlemen, I must confess that my mind is not exactly clear on that point. You know the best of us are apt to be in doubt at times and I am always frank to admit it. A good lawyer is never absolutely sure on any question of law. 01 course, I have a very strong personal opinion in regard to the matter and I feel positive that I am right. However, I will let you gentlemen look the matter up for yourselves and we will consider it at our next meeting. The class is excused.
