Two Game Chickens Interrupt q Detroit
Judge In His Charge to a Jury.
Two growing roosters destroyed the
effect of Judge Chambers charge to the
jury in the RECORDERS court the other
morning and furnished great amuse-
ment to the crowd of spectators.
The case was ono of arson. and the
charge Of the judge proceeded in this
wise:
Gentlemen Of the jury." said the
Judge - Observation-Disclosures shrieked
one rooster-''you have heard the evil"
Observation-Disclosures" answered tho
other roostcr-"dence on both sides Of

the attorney for the defendant.
"You have heard of the rooster--I-I
mean the defendant--tell where he
was on the night Of the fre"-"Cock-a-
doodle-dco."
The spectators were by this time una
bic to restrain their laughter, and the
jadge looked appealingly toward the
door-tender. who closed the rear door
But this did not entirely drown the
sound of the barnyard fowl. as every
once in awhile the faint echo of a
Observation-Disclosures" would mar the
5oiemnity of the courtroom and cause a
smile TO o'erspread the features of the
urbsnc and dig ified judge.
The cause of the roosters' presence
was afterward explained when they
were brought into the courtroom and
introduced as evidence in another case.
They were supposed to be game cocks,
worth about ten dollars apiece, but one
fellows beauty was spoiled by having
had all his tail feathers pulled out.
The other one. known as ''blinlser, "
had only one eye. having lost the other
in hard-fought battle.

Broken IN health and beauty the Is.
year-old gul Of proud parents 10 on her
way from Chicago back 20 her nome IN
New York state, which she left after
stealing 5000 to accompany two men,
one of whom exercised what Is de-
seTibed as hypnotic influence over
hers 10 her almost irretrievable dis.
grace. The unhappy parents were dis
tFacted over her disappearance and
heart-broxel over her rum. She will
return 20 her home q physical wreck
and a social repfoach. The threshold
10 her life Is darkened and her future
= one OF constant remorse. IL IS not
probable that like q maynard child she
rushed impetucusly to her ruin,
bat the unholy lesrs of two las
clsious adventures caught her in
nocent eyes, she was charmed, and
under tho hateful spell she robbed her
parents and was lured on and into the
Daclstrom of helpless servility TO the
monsters. At Detroit disagreement
arose over the respective rights OF her
two abductors, whereupon one took all
the money ami the other took the girl
and went 70 Chicago. Cruelty and neg
iect soon robbed the roses from her
youthful cheeks, and not until the
officers discovered her wrotched CONT
ton did q ray of hope iliumine her
dark and cherries prospect. The
story is . pathetic one and ought to
nave lasting impression on the minds
