"He says he killed him, and that's all there is about it " said Tutt to Mr. Tutt. "What are you going to do with a fellow like that?" The junior partner of the celebrated firm of Tutt & Tutt, attorneys and counselors at law, thrust his hands deep into the pockets of his yellow checked breeches and, balancing himself upon the heels of his patent-leather boots, gazed in a distressed, respectfully inquiring manner at his distinguished associate.

I've just come from the Tombs and had quite a talk with Serafino in the counsel room, with a gum-chewing keeper sitting in the corner watching me for fear I'd slip his prisoner a saw file or a shotgun or a barrel of poison.

I don't mind grand larceny, forgery, assault or even manslaughter--but murder gets my goat And when you have a crazy Italian for a client who says he's glad he did it and would like to do it again--please excuse me It isn't law; it's suicide "
