Kline, a younp attorney, to open the case, for practice. Mrs. Jlary Whitiner, the lady attorney, was present, and D. Cramer, attorney for defendant, kindly offered to let her open the case for the defense, for the same reason. But this brought Mr. Norris to his feet with a storm of objections. Mr. Cramer insisted that Mrs. Whiting had the same right to speak that Mr. Kline had, but Mr. Norria still objected. This was more than Mrs. Whiting could stand, and springing to her feet, in tones of anger and contempt she berated the peoples' doughty prosecutor for his lack of politeness, telling him that he was "the biggest coward in the state of Michigan," and was afraid he would lose the case if she was allowed to address the jury. It is needless to add that Mr. Norris was knocked out in the first round.
