exactly right.
Right where?'' asked the court.
Picks tapped his head significantly.
| II appears that Shelton some time ago
loaned quite a sum of money to u churh.
He was never repaid, and since then his
eccentricites have been marked.
Once he whitewashed the pavement in
front of his house and gave his neighbors
them.
Now his mania has Influenced him against
bicycles and their riders.
| While Kicks was trying to explain his
condition to the court Shelton interrupted
| him several times, and was finally allowed
to speak for himself.

that way" "whatI aimbs ter tell you is gwine

| Judge Scott remanded him for examina-
ton. much against the will of Lawyer Hol-
land, who was retained later for the de-
fendant. Holland argued the court had
no right to hold the man.
LAWYERS VAIN ARGUMENT.
lie is charged with disorderly con-
duct said Holland, "aud should be fined
or dismissed, and IL his relatives think
him crazy let them have his condition
certified to by two physicians, and then
let a marshal's jury try him. but this
court has no right to take such u pro-
| cedure''
| Mr.. Pugh told Judge Scott it had always
been the custom, and Holland nswered tina;
| did not necessarily make it right
| He argued the point at length, and was
| spea king of Shelton as being one OF the
men who saved his country, when Judge
| Scott broke in:
THAT will do, Mr.. Holland, 'he said. ''You

| entirely irrelevant"
But 1 want to show" began Holland,
exasperated.

off my feet in this way respectfully sub

his customary cheerfulness, that is your
privilege !.
Shelton was held.
