cases. and if this notorious rough doesn't look
out of grated window, it will be because he
does not get his deserts.

"CUTi JOHN WILSON, CUT"
From Bench and Bari


I had been employed to defend seedy doc
tor, somewhat given to drink. His name hap
pened to be John Wilson. He was charged
with fraudulently disposing Of his property
with intent to deffaud creditors-a INSIDE
meanor punishsble by nne and imprisonment.
We had been through . thorough examina-
ton Of all the facts before . committing magis-
trate, and Wilson was committed to the jail
to wait the action of the grand jury, then
in session, with an ugly case against hmm on
the testimony. OF course he was indicted.
The Judges had taken their places in solemn
gravity for the dispatch Of criminal business.
The district attorney, one Of those brilliant
geniuscs who could play loo or poker all night
with reasonable modicum Of ''old rye" to ss-
sist, and come into court fresh the next morn
ing, was at table with his back to tn.
court and bar, hurriedly making up his lost
time in filing up subpenas for witnesses. An
informal lis. or docket Of the criminal cases to
be tried, made On . loose sheet, had been
handed up to the court, which his Honor, with
spectacles on nose, appeared to be intently stu
dying Suddenly was appalled, to hear from
the venerable judge, "John Wilson, stand up"
The doctor Strengthened up stiff Is post, and
as suddenly a. the scaramouch from the box in
Sickle's show, while sat wondering what was
to come next, as the Judge went on - follows !:
s"John Wilson, you have been indicted by q
jury Of your country fofa high offence, but the
court Is gratiAed to learn Of your repentance,
and that you save the country expense by plead
ing guilty. Your case and that Of your suffer
ing family have been represented to the court,
and we have, on conference, decided to deal
leniently with you. But the court admonishes
you hereafter better to regard the laws Of
meum and tuum, and If you ever come before
this court again you will inevitably be used upl
The cour. orders you to pay fine Of five dol
lars, and to stand committed until paid"
Before this eloquent speech was concluded
had taken in tho situation. considered the
doctors case desperate. had all his money
and enough to cover . moderate fee As things
went in those days for defending him. Quick
IS thought slipped hve-dollar bill into his
hand, with the words, "Pay your Ane and Gu"
He waved his hand gracefully to the sheriff
with the bill, bowed his thanks to the court,
and was out the door in the twinkling Of an
eye. Silence reigned for near ten minutes,
when the judge called on the prosecutor to pro
coed. Tumbling bundle Of papers In haste,
he said, ri move on the trial Of John Wilson,
first, your honor" "John Wilson, exclaimed
the Judge, tive have sentenced him. Isn't
that the ham easel" ono, your honor; that's
John Watson, next on the docket" "But
