lice officer. r..
Judge Cullen imposed q fine of twenty
dollars, but Eliza begged to be let off once
more. She wanted to 60 to keokuk to see
her children. The Court, however, was not
disposed to let her off any more, and said SO
distinctly. @,Es;E -
"How much is the fine?" said the pri.
soner mildly. ~
"Twenty dollars" said the Judge.
Eliza then drew forth chunk of coal
from under her shawl, and with vile cpl
tibet sent it flying at the Judges head.
Judge Cullen, however, observed the mo-
ton of the woman's arm, and avoided the
missile. 1t grazed his shoulder and struck
the door in the wall with such force that
Deputy Coroner Praedicow, who was writing
in the next room, hastily rose from his desk
Judge Cullen took few moments to re-
cover from the shock, for it is probable that
