Pat O'Flaherty, very palpably not a prohibitionist, was arrested in
Arizona recently, charged with selling liquor in violation of the
Prohibition law. But Pat had an impregnable defense. His counsel, in
addressing the jury, said:
"Your Honor, gentlemen of the jury, look at the defendant."
A dramatic pause, then:
"Now, gentlemen of the jury, do you honestly think that if the defendant
had a quart of whiskey he would sell it?"
The verdict, reached in one minute, was "Not guilty."
