How General Butler Freed a Man.

General Buffers gift for springing
out and taking advantage of every
tcchnicality was fully illustrated In the
famous case of respectfully connected
man in Boston. who, being affected
with mania for stealing, was brought
to trial on four indictments. General
Butler was the prisoners counsel If
the prisoner was convicted on all four
indictments. he would be liable to
Imprisonment for 60 years. AS the
court was assembling General Butler
agreed with the counsel for the prose-
cution that three indictments should be
quashed on condition that the prisoner
should plead guilty to the one which
charged the theft OF the greatest
amount.
The prisoner. to his amazement. was
ordered by his counsel to plead guilty.
Say guilty. sir" said the general
sternly. The man obeyed. and the
other three indictments were not press
ed. But when the counsel for the pros
ecution moved for sentence General
Butler pointed out fatal flaw, mani
fest to every one when attention was
called to 1t. In ten minutes the aston
ished prisoner was a free man. 1t Is
said that the court laughed at the ruse,
the cleyerness Of which 1t was impos-
sible not to admire.
