ABE LINCOLN'S CHIVALRY. Helped a Lawyer, Now ragoun + to:Win His First Case. « His first case at the bar will never be forgotten .»by ex-Senator John CG. S. Blackburn of Kentucky, for Abraham Lincoln played a conspicuous part in helping the young Kentuckian to win his suit, Lincoln was merely an attor ney, waiting for one of his cases to be called, when the incident occurred: Ex-Senator Blackburn was only 20 years old when he began the: practice of law, having graduated at Centre college, Danville, Ky. His first .case was in the United States court in Chicago, presided over hy Justice John McLean, then on the circuit. The opposing counsel was Isaac N.

Young Blackburn had filed’a demurrer to Mr. Arnold’s pleadings in the cause, and when the case was reached on the calendar the young Kentuckian was quite nervous at having such a formidabie-and-experienced-the dignity of the tribunal and the presence of .a large number of eminent lawyers’ ‘in court served to increase: his timidity and embarrassment. In truth the stripling barrister was willing to have any disposition made of the cause in order to get rid of the burden.of embarrassment and ‘‘stage fright.’’ He was ready to adopt any suggestion ‘the opposing counsel should make. Arnold made. an argument in. which he criticised the demurrer in a manner that increased the young. lawyer’s confusion. However, Blackburn knew .he had to make some kind of an effort. He proceeded with a few remarks, weak and bewildering, and was about to sit down when a tall, homely, loose jointed man sitting in the bar arose and addressed the court in behalf of the position the young Kentuckian had assumed in a feeble and tangled argument, making the points so clear that the court sustained the demurrer. Blackburn did not know who his volup and sought to rebuke the latter for attempting to interfere in -the case, which he had nothing to.do with. This volunteer was none other than Abraham Lincoln, and this was.the first and last time the Kentuckian ever saw the rail splitting president. In replying to Mr. Arnold’s strictures Mr. Lincoln said he claimed the privilege of giving a young lawyer a helping hand when straggling with his first case, especially when he was pitted against an experienced practitioner.—Chicago Times-Herald. .
