Getting the Whole Story.
Attorney—l insist on an answer to my question. You have not told me all the conversation. I want to know everything that passed between you and Mr. Jones on the occasion to which you refer. Reluctant Witness—l’ve told you everything of any consequence. “You have told me that you said to him: ‘Jones, this case will get into the courts some day.’ Now I want to know what he said in reply.” “Well, he said: ‘Brown, there isn’t anything in this business that I’m ashamed of, and if any snoopin’ little yee-hawkin’, four-by-six, gimlet-eyed shyster lawyer, with half a pound of brains and sixteen pounds of jaw, ever w’ants to know what I’ve been talking to you about you can tell him the whole story.”—Chicago Tribune.
