OBSTINATE JUROR
Who Was Brought Around by q little

Jury service is mighty disagreeable

from South Texas who formed one OF q
gcssiping group in the hotel corridor the
OTHER evening. Not a great while ago
was summoned to serve in the case of a
cowboy who had killed a Mexican in
row over q. game of seven-up. There were
eleven white men on the panel and one
darby. and the trial lasted several days
The evidence showed that the shooting
began when the Mexican turned a jack
on the last trick and while that is not
set down in the statutes as a justification
for homicide it is regarded as strong
mitigating circumstance in all the Rio
Grande River counties. So, taking into
consideration the nationality of the de-
ceased, we were in favor Of giving the
prisoner the benefit of the doubt-that is
to say, we all were except the darby.

and that time stood 10 to .. One of our
crowd. a long headed old fellow named
Bill King, had voted guilty, with death

sion until I began to strike these de-
formed wardrobe trunks. They're the
stubbornest things You ever saw. They
won't stand on one end, and they won't
stand on either side. and they won't stand

there is a big hump on each side. and on
the top and on one end of the trunk. 1t

was made that way for at first: but I
took an hour off one day and went down
town and looked at the inside of one
Of the things. 1t was made like 4 ward

that's the top, you know. there was a
steel rod that could be pulled out as long
as the depth of the trunk. On this rod
there were hangcrs-coat and trousers

trunk there was a clamp that would

''The man that sells them told me I
could pack fifteen suits in one. if I'd
buy it. 1 told him I couldn't. but that
it wouldn't be the trunks fault. I asked
him if he thought an able-bodied man
could kick one of those humps in to the
wardrobe. and he said I needn't be afraid
of that; that the curved frames would
resist much more force than square
frames, and that nothing short of an axe
would have any effect upon one of the
things. I'm going to buy an axe. I
