in establishment.
What is that you say?" inquired his

"They would kill me if they could, but
they couldn't, so they sold me for ST."
The prisoner, wiping ava his tears,
produced a bundle of legal papers and
spread them before the court. The pa
pers showed that the prisoners property
had been transferred for a consideration
of 81.
Justice Dooley tried to explain mat
tiers, but the tailor was convinced that
he himself a been sold for q dollar and
his opinion could not be changed.
The wife and daughter testified that
the defendant. whose arrest they had
caused, had pursued them about the
streets and abused them.
"And they starve me-" interrupted the
prisoner.
"But vou won't eat anything we give
YOU said the daughter.
"No. because everything is poisoned

Tho defendant admitted he might have
threatened TO Kill himself and wife and
the magistrate held him in bonds to kcer
