PRAYER IN A HORSE CASE.
It Was Diplomatic and CoEent, but It
Lacked rmcacv.


A ten-minute prayer In a Pennsyl-
vania court in a horse case created
quite sensation recently. Robert f.
Thomas had brought suit to recover
the part payment he had made on a
horse. He bought the animal from
Peter German of Heidelberg Township
for $50; paid $50 en- him, and the bal
ance, $50, was to be paid in sixty days.
The horse was guaranteed sound.
Later Thomas returned the horse and
wanted his $50, saying the horse was
not as represented; that the animal
"knuckled." German denied this and
refused to give back the money.
Thomas then brought suit. The case
came up before Judge Albright. Thom-
as took the stand, took the oath, and
before answering the first question as
to where he lived turned to the
learned judge and asked whether he
could offer prayer. Certainly" said
Judge Albright with quiet nod. and
while on the witness stand Thomas
prayed aloud 20 Lord Thou who
rulest over all and art willing that all
shall have justice, we appeal to Thee,
in this our trouble, to lend ear and
give Thy presence. Guide us and all
Of us to tell the truth to this honor
able court and to this jury that l
bought that dark bay horse from Ger
man for $50; that German said he was
solid and sound; that l paid $50 on
him; that the horse was not solid and
sound, as represented, and that by
right and justice this court and Jury
should compel German to give me my
money back and receive his horse back
again, as the horse is now Just as l
bought him. o Lord, we hold no
grudge against German, and we don't
want him to have any enmlty against
us; but we want our money back be-
cause we are entitled to it. Thou
hast said that brethren should dwell
together in unity, and 1t is our desire
to do so, but we can't do 1t II German
doesn't take his horse back and re-
turn my $50. Soften his heart toward
us; forgive our enemies; give me a
safe delivorance in this trial, and bless
this good democratic judge who has
just been indorsed by the solid re-
publican party of Lehigh county"
Thomas went on in his prayer for ten
minutes, and at its conclusion the
trial gravely proceeded. The jury pa
tiently listened to all the evidence.
The parties were farmers near Stating
ton, but German deals In horses. The
jury brought in a verdict for the de-
fendant, and apparently Thomas
prayer had not been answered as he
desired, German, the defendant, hav-
ing shown that the horse was not
"knuckled," but was big-boned and
sound, as represented-Green Bag.
