Judge Walton's sense Of humor has
always been exceedingly lively. and his
direct, forcible way of expressing HIM
self carries a shaft straight to the
mark. This story. which serves to il
lustrate these characteristics, is
vouched for by the Lewiston Journal:
1t is told that Judge Walton was the
presiding justice at the oxford 5. j.
Court in case where the State was
the moving party and a negro was the
respondent. The charge was larceny
of corn, and ii was clear
enough from the start that the
prisoner at the bar was guilty. But
he won his case by appealing to the
sympathes of the jury. He was poor
man, and he hit upon the plan of hay
ing his wife and baby occupy a promi-
nent place il front of the jury during
the trial. and it was arranged that she
should lose no opportunity of attracting
attention and sympathy.
The strategy was taken in by Judge
Walton, for. when the jury returned
shortly after the charge with a verdict
of not guilty, the court remarked Smii-
ingly:
Mr.. Foreman ! think it would be
well for you to admonish the prisoner
at the bar not to steal any more. corn
Your Honor" replied the foreman
we will leave that for the court. =
Mr.. Blank spoke up Judge Walton
addressing the acquitted prisoner. the
jury wishes me to admonish you not
to steal any mere corn. You might not
be so fortunate as to have a baby to
help you out another time"
