Taylor was desperate for business, and was happy to be appointed by the 
court to defend an indigent defendant. The judge ordered Taylor,
"You are to confer with the defendant in the hallway, and give him the 
best legal advice you can."

After a time, Taylor re-entered the courtroom alone. When the judge asked 
where the defendant had gone, Taylor replied, "You asked me to give him 
good advice. I found out that he was guilty as hell, so I told him to 
split."
