WHO KILLED THE JUDGE9

One raw morning In March the Jani-
tor of the Court-h house of B entered
the Judges private room for the pur-
pose of making fire, and was fright
ened almost out of his wits at finding
his honorable dignitary lying motion
less on the floor. The janitor was
about TO retreat and raise the alarm by
ringing the Courthouse bell, when he
bethought himself that the Judge might
have tit, and that he could render him
the needed assistance. Therefore he
hastened forward and tried to lift the
PROSTATE man, who lay on the floor with
one hand partially hidden in his bosom,
while the other, lying near his head,
held his pen-holder, the gold pen of
which had its nib broken. But as the
Judge WAS a large man, given over to
Some extent TO obesity, and the janitor
q csdaverous fellow who had been de-
nominated Bones" by the attaches of
the Courthouse, he found his attempt
useless, and soon gave it up as futile.
At that time An unusually interesting
court was in session at B, and pre-
sided over by Judge Blakely. A large
number of criminal cases had been dis
posed of, and but few remained which
were Of more than passing Importance.
The session just drawing to close had
attracted many people from the rural
districts, and the several hotels were
nightly taxed TO their utmost capacity.
Attorneys from a distance were in at
tendance, and many friends of the pris-
oners still remained in town. Therefore
the wild ringing of the Court house
bell, fully three hours before the open
ing Of the court, startled every body
who heard it. There was catastrophe
in its unwonted tones, and while Jabez
Throck, the janitor, still held the rope,
he heard the patter of multitude of
feet in the stone corridor below. Re-
leasing the rope, he planted himself 1t
the top of the stairs and forbade the
crowd surging up, saying that the Judge
was dead, and that tine Coroner was
needed.
The report Of the Judges death now
spread like wild fire, and the Court
house was speedily surrounded by the
most exciting crowd ever seen in B.
After some DELAY. caused in great

er's remark concerning his ability to
traverse the Courtroom with ease after
dark, but said that he meant by it that
his protracted trial had familiarized him
with the room. The blood-stains on the
shirt were accounted for by saying that
the prisoner had cut his wrist on the
night of the crime, and, in fact, when
he was arrested his wrist was found to
be bandaged by bloody linen.
The abb which the defense had pro-
posed to prove did startle every one.
One Of the most respectable grocery
men in b testified that Jason Bow
ers had been continually in his store
from to 10 80 inclusive, on the night
of the murder, and several credible wit
nesses deposed to having accompanied
him from the grocery to the hotel, which
vas reached at 10:45. This damaged
the testimony of the witness who had
sworn to having encountered Jason
Bowers on the Courthouse steps at 10
O'Clock, or thereabOuts.
On cross-examination several of the
prisoners witnesses ad nitted that his
manner was excited and strange; but
the clerk of the hotel said that shortly
after the prisoners arrival he went up
to his room. Did not see the bandage
on wrist then; had loaned the prisoner
the dagger shown in court; the prison.
er had returned it just before retiring,
but had got it again before breakfast on
the following morning. The washer
woman, on cross examination, said that
the prisoner told her that he wished his
shirt by noon, as he wanted to leave
town at that hour; noticed bandage on
his wrist.
The defense also brought forward
witnesses to prove that the prisoner had
expressed to several his intention of
leaving B at the hour mentioned,
but that he was prevented by his arrest
for murder.
As the defense progressed the spec
tatOrs looked perplexed. 1t was EVIL
dent that loop-hole for the prisoners
escape would De offered. The prosecu-
ton looked dumb-founded.
The Judges charge was elaborate in
its details; his Honor leaned to the be-
lief in the prisoners guilt, and the
jury retired.
After an absence of four hours, dur
ing which time they sent for elucids-
ton on several points to the court, the
twelve returned with verdict of-NOt
guilty!
No demonstrations of delight follow
ed the announcement of the verdict.
The accused bowed to the jury and was
dischared.
That day he left B. and died 10
years later without unraveling, if he
could, the secret of the Judges death.
Years afterward, when the old Court
house was demolished, q rusty dagger
was found in the belfry, and the stats of
the blind windows showed evidences of
removal, as if to admit and let out Q
