Vindicated the Law,

A friend of Representative Culberson of
Texas related the following incident:
"When Mr.. Culberson was Prosecuting
Attorney" he said, There was a cri minal
statute universally disregarded. The in
dictment of well-known man for viola.
tion of this law was secured through the
efforts of Mr.. Culberson, who presented
the case with more vigor than almost any
be had ever conducted, succeeding in Sc
curing conviction and sentence to the
penitentiary Then he left town and no
one knew where ne had gone until he and
the prisoner, who had been taken 10 the
penitentiary, returned together. Mr.. Gull
berson had gone to the Governor, OBJ
tanned a pardon and met the convict at
the penitentiary with it. The law had
been vindicated and there were no more
violations of that statute in Jefferson.
