Summary

" Tutt and Mr. Tutt is a book that features a law firm with the same name. The firm consists of two partners: Ephraim Tutt and Tutt. The book contains several short stories that describe the firm's work and its characters' personalities. One of the stories, "The Human Element", describes the defense of Angelo Serafino, who is accused of murder in the first degree for killing Tomasso Crocedoro, a barber. Tutt & Tutt is a law firm known for taking on unusual cases, and they have no qualms about defending their clients, even if they are guilty. The case against Angelo is strong, but Mr. Tutt is determined to prove his innocence, despite the overwhelming evidence. As the trial unfolds, it becomes clear that the system is rigged against Angelo, and Mr. Tutt must use all his skills and experience to secure a fair trial. In another story, "Tutt and Mr. Tutt" defends Mock Hen, a Chinese laborer accused of murder, after he allegedly killed a man named Quong Lee. The case is complicated due to cultural differences and the need for interpreters in the court. The prosecution presents several witnesses who identify Mock Hen as the perpetrator, but Mr. Tutt effectively cross-examines them, revealing inconsistencies in their testimony. He also presents several character witnesses who vouch for Mock Hen's good character, and he delivers a powerful and persuasive closing argument. A third story in the book is "Samuel and Delilah", which involves Tutt's own personal life. Tutt is a man in his late 40s, who has grown tired of his life and is feeling unfulfilled. He meets a woman named Mrs. Allison, who is younger and more attractive than his wife. Mrs. Allison is a blonde and claims to be jilted by a clergyman, who refuses to marry her because she has been divorced. "
