man he had already wounded three
times, Henry Carr, 90 years of age,

The struggle which preceded the
killing took place in the kitchen of
Carr's house, the only witness being IA
12-year-old boy, the brother of Carr's
wife.

he believed Pitcher had broken up his
home.

from Mrs. Carr, who begged forgive
ness and expressed her intention of
committing suicide.
Fletcher, it is believed, will recover.

He WAS A PAINTER.

a Drunken Prisoners Excuse IN 9
Kew York Police Court
It is characteristic Of almost all the
prisoners except the drunks that their
chief concern is to secure delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that although, through their inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay IN
prison just the same. The most plausi-
BILE explanation is that they all are
fatallsts, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave on
the impending catastrophe. The
drunks, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbiter Of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than fine
is likely to befall them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner 1t may
be paid or served off. And then there
is the chance, II the magistrate is IN
good hunor, that they may get away
u1scathed at once.

from falling over by holding on nerT'

all over himself" Excuses of the most
wonderful kind, some Of them really
ingenious, others merely ridiculous, are
put forward when the futility Of felgn,
ing innocence has been discovered. The
cleyerest explanation Of that kind that
T ever heard was advanced by a man
who, when taxed with having dis
played unmistakable signs of intoxica
ton, simply replied that he was a
painter by trade.
"That has nothing to do with your
condition" said the magistrate.
"Of course it has" rejoined the prls

and kept on twisting after the stripes

That's a very delicate thing to do,"

II will give YOU" he said, "a list Of
ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask
you to look through it and then to tell
me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name OF the firm
which has failed appears in it. Surely
you will do that for me:'
Yes" said the banker, "for if do
not mention any name I cannot be held

"But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed?" asked the
banker in surprise.
