FISH 0 N LIKE THEM.
Refuse to Associate With Occupants
of tho Court Houre and .IaiI

Judge Hudspeth and his former asso-
csate ex-Judge Albert Hoffman went down
to Forked River on Saturday to catch
a lot of fish. The fish must have heard
that Judge Hoffman was coming and
made themselves scarce, for the two gen
tlemen had the proverbial f~isherman's
luck, but they succeeded in creating a
sensation among the professional fisher
men at least Judge Hoffman did. He was
faultlessly dressed as he always is and
when he and Judge Hudspeth got out to
the fishing ground Judge Hoffman put on
a pair of gloves in order to preserve the
complexion of his hands.
The professional fisherman who had
taken them out remarked:-ssWelI. I'll be
gol darned if | ever saw anything like
that before. That settles it. We don't
catch any fish today"
His prediction was verified. Judge Hoff-
man caught a little fish known as a blow
err and then retired from business. He
went down into the cabin and smoked
good cigars and drank imported beer,
Judge Hudspeth, who is an expert fisher
man, stuck to it, but didn't get a bite.
He believes he was hooded.
Prosecutor Winfield, his detective. John
p. Feeney, and Ed. Mitchell, warden Of
the Jail, went to Barnegat on Saturday
on a fishing trip. Before they started they
told some of their friends to be around
when they returned and get some fish.
Their friends We're around. but the fish
are still in the bay. The three alleged
fishermen didn't even get a bite.
