BURR FOUND THE ASSASSIN.
Famons Lawyer Ounce Cleared His Cli
ent of Marder.
“1 was particularly interested,” sald
an old Washington lawyer the other
day, speaking of the Manhattan well
crime, “in the paragraph that describ
ed Aaron Burr's dramatic act in hold-
ing a pair of lighted candles in the
face of a spectator in the courtroom
and shouting, ‘Gentlemen, here is the
real murderer.’ 1 do not question this,
but I remember that Jere Clemens,
once a famous United States senator
from Alabama, told of a trial in which
Burr appeared for the defense of a
man charged with murder. My recol-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest. When Burr addressed the
jury it was night. The guilty man
was in the room. He had been the
principal witness for the prosecution
but Burr had learned that this witnesa
was the assassin, and in closing his
address for his client he picked up two
iighted candles from the table and
hoiding them in the face of the wit-
ness referred he exclaimed: ‘Gen-
tismen of the jury, there is nature's
verdict. Now write yours.” At that
moment the witness fled from the
room. After Clemens told this story
be wrote an historical novel called
“The Rivals; or, The Times of Hamil-
ton and Burr’ In that book he wove
the incident into one of the chapters.
The book is out of print and has been
for many years. But it had a great
sale, particularly in the south, before
the civil war, for Clemens was a typ!-
cal southern orator, and a man of
wonderful personal magnetism. The
object of the novel was to make Burr
a hero, and to besmirch Hamilton's
character. In one chapter where Burr
was high in the esteem of Washington,
the latter is represented as reading a
letter from Hamilton in which Hamil-
ton detailed some scandalous gossip
about Burr. Burr was standing behind
Washington during the reading of the
letter. Washington incensed at the
contents of the letter, turned quickly
and saw Burr, to whom he said: ‘How
dare you read my over my
shoulder?’ Burr, as Clemens repre:
sents, stung to the quick, drew him-
self up and replied with all the haut
eur of his nature: ‘When your majes-
ty addresses such an inquiry to me io
the manner you have, the only reply
deceny can prompt is, Aaron Burr
dares to do anything.” This, Clemens
avers, was the cause of the break be-
tween Washington and

sugaged in problems upon mechanics
{ have gone to bed and dreamed what
seemed to be a perfect solution of that
which had been uppermost in my mind
during the day. But the trouble is that
upon awaking. while recollecting per-
fectly that I had dreamed the solution,
ft was impossible to recall the detalls
necessary to a practical application of
my idea. You know, it is said of the
automatic car-coupler of the double-
jaw type, that the originator of the
idea was a telegraph operator who,
while leaning back in his chair, with
his hands clasped behind his head,
dozing, was brought t his senses by
the blowing of a locomotive whistle
That noise served as a connecting link
for his thoughts. With his hands still
clasped, sailor fashion, he slowly
brought them in front of him, and
wondered why the cars of that train
could not be connected with one an-
sther in the same way his hands were
hooked together. As a result of this
enriously suggested idea we have the
the two jaws of which fit into each
other and clasp after the same manner
of the human hands. There is a west-
ern inventor who tells of dreaming of
railroad spikes one night last summer.
He saw around him nothing but spikes,
hundreds and thousands of them, and
tons and tons piled up in front of him.
Bnt these spikes differed from any oth-
er he had ever seen, in that the four
faces were grooved. He thought about
these spikes when he woke up, and
next night saw more spikes than ever
in his dream. Then he became con-
vineed that those spikes were intended
as the foundation for the fortune that
he had been striving for. As a result
the western man has applied for a
patent upon the inventiom, which, it
is claimed, effects a saving of 20 per
cent In the steel used, and makes a
cheaper and better means of holding
the rail to the tie than heretofore eme-
ployed.” Washington Post.
