Scene in Court With n stupid Police
mQn


Those who are in the habit of attend
ing police and other courts must have
observed the difficulty under which the
lawyers and Judges labor sometimes in
getting witnesses to testify in legal
form. The following which took place
at Cincinnati court last week, is an
amusing and perfect example: A man
had been cought in the actof theft, and
pleaded in eItenuation that he was
drunk:
Court (to the policeman who was wit
ncss)
"What did the man say when you ar
rested himi'
Witness. "He said he was drunk"
Court. want his precise words, Just
as he uttered them; he didn't use the
pronoun he, did hef He didn't say
lie was drunk"
Witness. "Oh yes be did-he said
he was drunk; he acknowledged the
corn"
Court getting impatient at the wit
ness stupidity You don't understand
me at all; i want the words as he ut
tered them; didn't he say, Il was

Witness (deprecatingly. "Oh, no,
your Honor. He didn't say you was
drunk; / wouldn't allow any man 10
