IBfcny years ago. when Thadiieus ^Stetens was practicing law in L&ueas- ter. he was employed to defend two bank Officers who had been imitated for conspiracy, they having used the funds of the bank in speculation. All 4he legal talent of Philadelphia and uiurvouuding counties had been engaged to assist in the prosecution. When the trial was opened Mr. Stevens rose, and mddressing the court, said;*lf it please jrour honors, presuming there are differ­ ent degrees of guilt attached to the prisoners, my clients,I move thej be tried separately." The judge consulted for a few moments with his associates, who consented, the motion was granted and so recorded. Waiting some mo­ ments for Mr. Stevens to go on, the judge, becoming impatient, saifl im­ petuously: "Proceed Mr. Stevens, pro­ ceed. We are waiting for you, Stevens rose deliberately, and looki ng around the court room for a mane nt •aid: "Did your honors ever heanetfo no man being tried for conspiracy.?* 21) en waving his hand to his clients, he id: "You can go home; you can go )mm* a."
