Some years ago there lived IN Ala

sarcasm which he dispensed during his
administration OF justice. On n occa-
sion a young a was tried for steal
ing n pocketbook. The neyt case was
for murder. The evidence In the lar
ceny cnse was slight. but In the other
amazement aud wrath, however, the
jury convicted the young man and ac-
quilted the murderer. In passing sem

from long experience, distrustcd the
