unable TO give a good account Of himself"
Notice himself added Mr. Jones.
That means a man. Ny client is not a

"oh, Mr.. Jones" protested the court,
that's merely clerical error. 1t means
female. an. you don't want to say the de-

Your honor must prove it, persisted
the lawyer.
Judge Scott smiled, and stopped the at

the young woman. She is dismissed

Kilmartin had better luck III the matter
Of Sarah Goodwin, who lives not far from
Della. The policeman swore she was
person OF evil habits and infested the streets
and made advances to men. Sarah had on
a kinky wig, white satin dress and kid
slippers.

KIlInartin nodded his head.
Enter up sentence of fifteen days, Mr..

/ I'm pa it, sir,'' and Pruitt pulled roll
OF bills out of his pocket. .'but it is robbing
me OF bread and butter"
THAT will do. sir" frowned Judge Scott.
You evidently don't believe the officers

Judge.
"IIe can't appeal it, whispered Clerk
