They tell a very good story Of Judge
Henderson, of Texas. He was candidate
for office and visited frontier county, in
which he was a stranger. Hearing that a
trial for felony would take place in few
davs, he determined to volunteer for the
defence. The prisoner was charged with
having stolen pistol. The volunteer coun-
sci conducted the case with great ability.
He confused the witness, palavered the
court, and made an able, eloquent aud
successful argument. The prisoner was
acquitted. The counsel received the enthu-
s;astic applause of the audience. His
innocent client availed himself of the earliest
interval of the hurricane of congratulations
to take bis counsel aside. "My dear sir y
said he, 'you have saved me, and l am very
grateful; have no money; do not expect to
have any, and do not expect ever to see you
again; but, to show that l appreciate your
services, you shall have the pistol!' So
saying, he drew from his pocket ard
presented to the astonished attorney the
very pistol which he had just shown he had
never stolen or had in his possession.
