Go on! 'I wish, es a favor to me,you would undertake the case of Evans.' do not wish to ; I have declined already. How will it serve you ?' 'Why, you see, sir, I and Kitty— that is Kitty and I—' He paused, in -embarrassment, and I turned in, someserprise. 'Pray, who is ,Kitty, Mr. Marsh ?' 'Miss Kitty Evans.' 'Oh, see,' rejoined, laughing.— 'Kitty is our daughter, and you Want me to take up the case of the father.. in-law elect' 'Wl7y, you see, sir, the rest of the bar share your aversion to the case ; and he prefers you at any rate. If you would take it at- my instance it' . would be of service to me.' Under these circumstances I recon sidered my reheat; and told Marsh ,to 'slew) Kitty,!s lathee• re ee e me on the following — day. The hover della-de:d in high spirits. • This Evans was a real estate agent and rent collector, •who had acquired some money by his profession. -lie was indefatigable in dunning delin quentkenants, and sufficiently prompt in paying over the proceeds,. so that he had a number of patrons. He was regarded as a rather slippery fellow. The little intercourse lehad with him had satisfied me that he was not a desirable client—the im pression on my mind was adverse to his fairness and honesty, and I shunn ed him. The particularnase in which he de sired my services was as follows : Among the the patrons of Evans had been a wealthy man named Oa- . rence Preston. The collections made for him during one, quarter-had a mounted to eighteen hundred and twenty dollars, which had been paid over, less the-five per cent. commis sion, in the presence of .Prestor'S at toeney. Evans took a reccipt,-hut went away leaving it on his patron's table. Ho called to get it on the fol lowing Corning, but was astonished to learn that, Mr. Preston had been attacked .by, apoplexy about two hours after ho bad' left the house and died at midnight. Mr.- Van. Buren, the attorney, had placed his seal on all the papers of the deceased.- 'When the executor took charge, Evans re newed,hes applicatioe rex• the •receipt. Schermerhorn, the execrator ' made search accordingly and found a pa per partly answering Evans' descrip tios, but differing in one important particular. It receipted and ac knowledged the payment of seven teen hundred .and twenty.nine dol. ; but it waswithenf r t signature.— Evans then went to the attorney risa witness,,but, tq his consternation, the latter denied that any- mone'y had been paid, or receipt given therefor, in his presence. The executor, under these circumstances, brought suit to recover the rents collected, and claim ed eighteen hundred and sixty-five dollars as due to the estate. When &ens called on' me, according to .ap : pointment I questioned him closely. 'Are you sure,' I asked, 'that-the receipt had been signed when you left, r • 'Positively. There was no blotting paper, and I let it be for a few mo ments on the table to dry, and that is how I came engrossed with converse, tion we had, to forget it.' 'Did Mr.,- Schermerhorn show you the unsigned receipt ?' 'Yes. It was the same I had, writ ten—l knew it by my own handwrit ing, end,by a en.up,le,of specku in the paper. I had neglected to bring my receipt book with me, and wrote the receipt on a loose piece of paper lying on the table.'

'Very well. As' I have agreed to take the cause in hand, fight them we will ; but you have neither force nor material fora contest. It is sim ply your story against evidence oral and written! ' I knew Mr. Sobermerborn, the sole executor, very well. Ile lived in; the same block that • did, and I deter mined to drop in on him after dinner and.discuss the matter in a friendly way. It was quite - unprofessional to do this, of course ; but the whole case was exceptional. I found Schermer. horn to. be frank and communica tive. 'lt is a matter of personal indiffer. ence to me, and if it looked even fair, I shbuld make a mere shoW of opposi tion. But 1 don't believe a single word of Evans' story. Between our, selves, your client is a very silly and, unprofitable bit of roguery. Ho is too sharp a fellow to have left a receipt behind him, even if, be took' one upon a loose piece of paper. But that isn't his way ; be would have brougbt,his receipt book: The claim is an after thought. on hearing. of Preston's, sud den death.' 'But,' I suggested, (ho,w does it hap pen that the receipt, even:if unsigned was among Preston's . papers ' 'That is not easily accounted for, but might be. Evans might have lefty then, intending to pay the mon ey, hut neglected it, or might. have _left it before. At all events it proves nothing for you. For there is Van Buren—an upright man of unimpeaCh able character who is ready to swear that no money was paid that night, and no receipt passed. Ile was with Preston when Evans came in, and re mained with him after he went until he was attacked with the apopletie Gt. You would not gainsay his evi. dence ?' 'I am not so sure of that.' 'Not so sure. Why, man, you can only do it on the supposition that Van Buren himself pocketed the money, and blew the. signature away —for it shows no. mark of an'erdsure. `That would be absurd.' , . 'lmprobable, possibly, but not im possible, and so not absurd. 'Yes, absurd,' ho responded. 'For why not destroy the receipt when the money was taken 7' I felt the force of this. -I was worsted in the encounter, and with drew with the conviction that my ease was desperate. Before I left, I said : am instructed, and must make what defence t can. Will you have the receipt at trial, or put me to the trouble of compelling its production ?' "No need of process. The receipt, as you call it, will he in court; but it is uSeless :to you as you will say when you see it." Time slipped away, I should have nearly forgotten the case, until ithad gone - through its routine, took its place on the, calendar, and had its day fixed. But Marsh kept it be fore me, always having discovered, weekly or oftener some important point, which amounted to nothing, or conceived some apt suggestion, which turned out to be of no value. I un derstood and overlooked meddling no account of its object. It gave him pretext for, more frequent visits to :Evans' pretty daughter,- I was no longer young but I looked on a lover's expedients with a forgiving eye. The day of trial came. The-plain tiff, who bad very able. counsel, was ready, and so was I for defendant, although I could see but very little chance of success. The plaintiff's counsel, Mr. Dema rest, opened with a succinct state ment. The defendant had collected rents to the sum of eighteen hun dred and sixty-five dollars, as the agent of Clarence Preston, now de ceased. He had neglected and . re fused to pay these over, and for this amount, now due the estate, suit was brought. The leases were brought in to show the amount of rents, and these I ad mitted to save time. The tenants were brought forward with their re ceipts to prove the sums were actu ally paid to Evans, except in one in stance where a tenant was out. of town. Then his clerk was sworn, who witnessed the payment and. the signing of the receipt by Evans—it was for three hundred. dollars. On cross-examination he admitted that he did not see the sum to count it, that was actually paid; but saw his employer pay the money in gold to Evans, and brought the roceipt.book himself for Evans to sign a receipt which he (the clerk) had written for three, hundred. He .had .been in strutted to write one for that amount in the hearingofEvane.. ,• The pleintiftiested his Nu1e,444 I WHOLE NO. 765 opened for the. defence. My state ment was,what the reader expected ; but we denied receiving so much by, forty-five dollars as the clerk of the tenant had testified. Deducting this• and our commissions, the sum was seventeen ..hundred and- twenty-nine dollars, which we had paid over. The new laws just going, into effect, allo - wed a party to be examined in his own behalf, and .-I put Evans on the stand: Ile - testified to the state of facts already laid before the read er, and mentioned at my instance the kind of money received, and the fact that one •bill , was • not bankable, but he had takenit subject to Preston's approval. Before going to Preston's house, he drew from the Shoe and Leather Bank the amount required, excepting the hundred dollar, bill named, having--deposited'the =rents, from time ' to time as he - ,reeeived them. ; , . . . A sharp cross examination ;'-now commenced. "Now, said - the opposite coun sel, "you have stated that a, receipt was signed on a-loose piece of paper. Who drew that receipt, up." • -"I did." "It was entirely in your hand-wri ting then ?" • "Yes, sir, except the signature.," "How many such receipts did you write ?" "Only one. "Are you positive of that 7" "Quite positive." Th'e.counsel produced a manuscript. It was the blank receipt round by Sherrnerhorn. Re showed it to Evans, so folded that the place for the signa ture was concealed. "Did you ever see that paper be fore ?" "Yes, sir—twice. Once when. Mr. Preston signed it,' and once since, when Mr. Shernierhorn Showed into me." "When Mr. Preston signed it— You believe Mr. Preston's signature is attached to it then ?"* . , "No, sir; because 1 have seen it since without a signature. But it was there." "Could you not have been mista ken ?" "No; sir ; I wrote the body of that receipt, and Mr. Preston signed it.— There was no blotting paper on the table, and, I let it lie there to dry.— That what was how came to forget it." "Who was present when the re ceipt was given?" "Mr. Van Buren, yonder." "Do you think he saw the money paid?" "Cer,tainly. Be spoke in such a way that he must have seen it." "Will you detail the conversation?" "Substantially. I said to Mr. Pres ton that Barn, one of the tenants, had paid me in uneurrent money— that one hundred dollar bill on a Philadelphia Bank. Van Buren said, "it is BO small a shave, Preston, that you can stand it." Mr. Preston laughed, and then took the money." "And you positively . swear that such conversation took place on that occasion ?" "I do." "Now, sir, let me - put up a hypo thetical case to you, and ask you if it be not possible that it mightnot have occurred. Might youlnot have -writ ten this receipt, and then felt disin clined to pay at the moment? Did you not, in,fact, excuse yourself from paying on the part of tenants ?" "No, sir I" returned Evans, indig nantly. "I paid as I have stated, and took that receipt." "But that receipt has no signa ture." "I know it, and I can't account for it. But it had. That is certainly the one I wrote. and which Mr. Pres ton afterwards signed in my presence. I particularly identify_ it by two flaws or specks in the paper, which I noticed as he wrote the signature, and which are there now." "You have an excellent memory," said Demarest, dryly. "You b _ anti at the Shoe and Leather ?" “yes.” "Are you not in the habit of paying your collections over in a check drawn to the order of parties ?" "Yes, sir; but Mr. Preston always seemed to prefer r should bring the money." "Did he tell you ?" • "Not in words," "This then *as an, isolated in stance ?" 'Yes ,> returned the counsel, 'You can stand aside, sir.' Evans still lingered on the stand.— The jurymen looked carelessly around the court room. Some fidgeted in their seats, others yawned. They had evidently made up their minds, and adversely to us. I was too well read in jury nature not to perceive it. 'Are you - through, sir ?' said the Judge to me. 'Yes, sir,' But.here an idea struck me. 'Stay a mornent,.Mr. Evans. It is possible'that on closer examination some of your testimony may lead to an explanation of one or two doubt ful points. Let me have that re ceipt.' It was handed me. Are you sure, sir, as to the mode of signature ? Is it not possible that it was signed with lead pencil 7' '.Not at all leading that question,' suggested Demarest ; but I would not h ear the irg pl ked objection. 'No, 'sir,' persisted Evans, 'lt •vas signed with ink, and that is why I left it on the table to dry.' • I looked at._ the paper carefully. I could find no traces of a signature by the eye ; but on passing the end of to) finger over the spot, where the.sigrair tare should, heve been, I thoight - AFAiTILY.

"The ink has been skillfully and carefully re moved, I think, but the signature has been written with steel pen, and the strokes have indented the paper." The receipt and glass were passed firstly to the opposite counsel, then to the jury, and finally to the judge. During the examination, I conferred, with the optician apart. His history was clear and brief When Marsh came for the glass he recognized him. "I owe Air. Lititat a hundred dol lars and an apology for not having it sent before. I have a Philadelphia note here--good but not current—if he will take that." Marsh was on the Fui vine for Phil adelphia bills, and with some remark about lawyers' fees not being always paid in current funds, took the note in his hand. To his surprise it wale on the Mechanics' Bank of Philadel- • phi and on its back were the'ini-- tiafs—"J. Y. C." "Where did you get' this ?" he- ask- ed. "From the Jersey City Bank,* *aa the reply.
