but the court refused to grant more than one
day. Griffith and the prisoner then retired
to an ante-room for consultation. In due
time they returned into court, when Griffith
stated that Lawler had declared his innocence
of any intention to commit larceny, but ow-
ing to circumstances in the case he had con-
cluded to plead guilty. trusting to the mercy
of the court. Judge Emo, after the prisoner
had addressed the court in pentent man
ner, questioned him regarding his past life,
and gave him some good advice, remarking
that he would be lenient with him, although
his conduct in Jail did not warrant it. He
was then sentenced TO three years imprison-
ment at hard labor in the State Prison. The
sentence had hardly escaped Judge Eno's
| lips when Lawler ''spoke out in meeting'r
| thus cd d-nyour old heart ;you ought
! to sit there until come out!" The Judge
leaned forward and asked the clerk if he had
formally entered the Judgment. Being inform
ed that he had not. Judge Emo said "Lawler,
your conduct shows you to be possessed of a
depraved heart, and unworthy of sympathy,
and l will add four years to your sentence,
and now sentence you to seven years impris-
onnient at hard labor in the Penitentiary.n
The prisoner was furions at this stage of the
game, and again belched forth: ed d-n
you you had better be dead when | come
out again" The Sheriff was ordered to re-
move him. AS he passed through the room he
cursed the Judge, Sheriff McBeth, and every-
body else, saying he was young and would
get even with them. During the scene above
mentioned the spectators were much excited,
and would have bsen glad if Lawler had got
fourteen years instead of seven.

at their points,, when, to his surprise, the
end of his finger disappeared in an instant,
and rolled away to the other side OF the saw.
The man tied up the stump in his handker-
chief; whereupon Andrews, noticing him,
came up and inquired what was the matter.
The victim of misplaced confidence replied :
''Mishter Andrews, never comes to see your
mills pefore. | seed dis ting around so fast.

hap. the German touched the saw with his

to Andrews in almost breathless astonish-
