Some years ago Justice Of the Peace
Beasley OF Missouri was personally In
terested In lawsuit, being @ party
thereto. It was necessary for him to
make an affidavit, and he deprecated
the idea OF making It before another
justice or a notary and depriving him
self OF fee. 80 he filled out his aft
davit, swore to 1t before himself, sign
ed 1t as justice and as witness and
awaited developments. he was sure
that he would win and thus be able TO
tax the costs up to the other side
When the case came up before Judge
Kelley. the affidavit was offered in evil
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that a justice could
not swear himself.
LET me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley.
1t WAS handed up to the judge, who
scanned It carefully for a few mo-
ments and then asked:
"Mr Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and Identified

THAT was very easy, your honor, "
replied Beasley. IL borrowed n look
