to the officer in charge, gravely selects
a paper from the bundle, hands it over
with the strict injunction that it be car
ried Immediately to the Judge, and,
tremendously saluting all present, de-
parts in the confident assurance that
the morrow will find his case on the cal
endar, and the court in readiness to pro-
coed with the argument of his long de-
layed motion.
The court officers deal very gen.
tly with Mr.. Heintzlemann. He
is q privileged character. Accus-
toned as they are to making
short work of the army of cranks who
periodically disturb the peace or OBJ
struct the wheels of justice with their
vagaries, they still have Il tender spot
in their hearts for him, and are never
too busy to answer his inquiries respect
ing the mOmentOuS suit, or to comfort
him with the assurance that some day
his much-hoped-for modification" will
be granted.
To Mr.. Hcintzlemann' mind, all law
order, liberty and progress ceased when
the obnoxious judgment was pro-
nounced, and, pending its reversal, all
monarchS reign without title, all courts
sit without authority, and all govern
ment is usurpation-in short, that it is
Anarchy and Old Night come again.
He conceives himself to be the incar-
nation of outraged justice, and, there
fore, the representative head and adj
vOcate-general of the human race. He
is firmly convinced that the future his
| tory Of the world is closely bound up
with the issues of his controversy.
Every passing event has some occult
bearing upon it, and every public ca
| lamity or crime is a necessary cOrollary
to it. Accordingly, stray references to
| cOntempOraneOuS occurrences are to be
found scattered through his volumi-
nous papers. Nothing comes amiss to
him. The Electoral Commission, the
Centennial Exposition, the assassina-
| tiOhS Of the late Gar of Russia and of
President Garfield, the war between Pc
ru and Chill, the Star-Route trials, the
building of the Brooklyn bridge and the
erection of the Bartholdi statue are all
in some way or other connected with his
case, and all find mention in his dccu-
mentS.
Nothing pleases him so much as TO
gain the ear of a Judge to whom he
may be unknown. Ii he be so fortunate
as to elude the vigilance of the court
officer, he immediately pours forth a
torrent OF unmeaning broken English,
! freely interlarded with scraps of Latin
and other foreign tongues, fully per-
suaded that at last he is making head
way, and tardy restitution is about to be
granted. When the officer quietly
checks him, he makes no objection,
but instantly leaves the court with his
customary rapid stride. contented to
postpone the presentation of his case
until more favorable opportunity shall
occur.
Has the reader any curiosity to see a
specimen of Mr.. Heintzlemann's "docu-
ments?" Let him run his eye over the
subjOined extract and then pronounce
upon its value as legal pleading:

ferred to as public reply and this legal educa-
ton disclosure. For the redress of this rob
or public murder and this incurabe public
calani.y and curse of this public offense, of

Later on in the same lucid statement
OF grievances he mOdestly applies
For an order of $500 and $500 for dis

He does not cOnfine himself to the
higher courts in his efforts to obtain re-
dress. District courts, police courts, or
even an Assembly Investigating Com
mittee are alike acceptable. Here is
an order presented by him to one of the
lower courts, and probably signed by
the Judge with view of giving him a
transient taste of the pleasures of inn
pending victory:
AdOlphus Heintzemann is the Chief of the
Bar, and is clothed with all rights, privilege,
honor and justice,
Ordered. that the Justice of said Court is in
full sympathy with the said HeintZlemann,
and that he has sworn that his obligation is in
all respects toward the said Heintzlemann to
do everything to his aid and advantage for
the modification of 81 Barb. p. 513, even unto |
death, as our inviolable rights and only legal |
settled citizen title, as registered in rem.
This last paper, however, bears the
imprint of another hand than Mr.. |
HeintZlemann's 1t is too coherent to |
be his production. 1t contains SEN
fences. His papers never do.
1t is pathetic to note his reference to
the book in which his case is reported. |
Like King Charless head in Mr.. Dicks |
Memorials, this allusion to 81 Barb. |
573, is sure to crop up sooner or later
in eli his documents. His poor be- |
logged intellect has chung to this one
fact, or penumbral shadow of a fact,
when all else has gone by the board.
He has, years ago, forgotten what his
case was about. And yet he knows,
and is careful to mention where the re-
port of it is to be found. Vigorous as
are the vituperative epithets whatever
they may mean) which are so thicklv
besprinkled over his documents, Mr..
Heintzlemann takes pains to explain
that he is actuateds by no motives of
resentment or ill-will. On the contrary,
his arduous labors are prompted by
charity towards his fellows and intense
anxiety for their welfare.
