By Marks & Katz, LLC

ADVERTISEMENTS
Years ago, I heard a story that a lawyer -- posttibly Clarence Darrow -- distracted a jury from the opponent's argument, impressed that Darrow could create a very long ash with his cigarette or cigar, in the days that smoking was allowed in courtrooms.  Recently, Straight Dope said that insufficient information exists about whether this incident ever happened.
