II see be tn pa-apers," said Mr.. Dooley,
! 'that Col. Hinnery, tn man that stint me
frind Cap. Dhry-fuss to tn cage, has
moved on. l suppose they'll give tn Cap
new thrile now
II hope they WON'T" said Mr.. Hennessy.
II don't know anything about it, but 1
think he's guilty. He's Jew
"Wel," said Mr.. Dooley, 'ye'er
thoughts on this subject is inthrestin', but
not conclusive, as Darsey said to tn Pol
lack that thought he cud lick him. Ye
have fright to ye'er opinyon an yell
hold it anyhow, whether We have a
fright to it or not. Like most iv ye'er
fellow citizens, I've start impartial. Ye
don't know anything about tn case. If
ye knew anything ye'd not have an opin-
yon wan way or tn other. They'se niver
been matther come up in my time that
tn American people was so sure about as
they ARE about tn Dhry-fuss case. IN
Frinch ARE not so sure, but they'se not
polisman in this country that can't
tell We JUS where Dhry-fuss was whin tn
remains iv tn poor girl was found. That's
because tn thrile was secret. Ii twas an
open thgile an We heerd the testimony
an knew tn language an saw tn safe
afther twas blown open, ye'd be puzzled
an not care a rush whether Dhry-fuss
was naked in cage or takin' tay with his
uncle at tn Benny Brit Club.
II haven't made up me mind whether
tn Cap done tn shootin' or not He was
certainly in tn neighborhood whin tn fire
started, an tn polls dug up quite lot iv
lead pipe in his back yard. But it's wan
thing to SUSPECT a man iv doin' a job an
another thing to prove that he didn't. Me
frind lola thinks he's innocint, an he
raised tn divvle at tn thrile, I've heerd.
Whin tn judge come up on tn bench an
opined tn coort, lola was settin' down be-
low with tn lawyers. Let us proceed

ceed to hearin' tn testimony he says.
Call all tn witnesses at wanst,' he says,
AN lave thin have it out on tn dure,' he
says. Be this time lola had come back,
an he jumps up an, says he: Jackuse,'
he says. An they thrun him out.
'Befure we go amy farther, says tn
lawyer FIR tn difnse, L wish to sarve no.
tice that whin this thrile is over intind,
he says, to wait outside he says, AN
hammer tn hon'rable coort into an ONE
let,' he says. With these few remarks [
will close he says. 'Th' coort,' says tn
judge, is always rready to defnd tn
honor iv France he says, an if larned
counsel will con-sint,' he says, TO step up
here FIR a minyit,' he says, 'th' coort'll
put sthrangle hold on him that'll not do
him bit iv good he says. 'Ah,' he says.
Here's me OF frind Pat tn Clam he

lola firm tn dureway. An they thrun
