accused of gambling. which was not
regarded as a very serious offense in
Texas in those early days, especially
Il the offender CHANGED to be a prom
inent citizen The prosecution was
Generally treated as a pleasant jest,
but was nevertheless carried through
IN earnest, and a jury composed Of
lawyers brought In the following ven

Fine the defendant dollars ten;
a guilty man beyond all doubt,
Let the defendant pay himself out
