When cases or relOnloUS assaults 10 which deadly

revolver OF any value, the attorney sometimes
applies for and obtains the weapon after being
given authority by the prisoner TO sign his name. II
often happens that the prisoner gets on, and he Is
satisfied With the disposition OF the case He never
applies for the weapon. Many others VINO think
that their claim TO the weapon ends when they
are arrested never make any inquiries, and some
amount OF nnes imposed go into the hand OF the

are OF the cheapest character but IL Is not an un-
common thing for a tramp to Carry a revolver

the weapon gets into the hands OF the property
