Too Kind Hearted.
The boys at Ottumwa Junction are
amused at the excuse put up by Car
Inspector Matthew Quinlan to the dis.
trict Judge to avoid sitting On the
jury. MATHS plea was that he was too
kind hearted and would never forgive
himself # he was party to the cinch-
i:'g of man." Quinlan's conversation
with the judge is about like this, &C.
cording to information received:
Quinlan-Your honor I can't sit on
the jury.
Judge-What good excuse have you
got, Mr. Quinlan?
Q.-Why your honor couldn't cinch
man for any crime. would never
forgive myself if sent some poor devil
to prison. I'd always be thinking that
the crime was done in fit of lunacy.
Don't you think, Mr. Quinlan,
that your decision wiuld be just and
that you could be convinced to see the
wrong in a guilty person?
Q.-Your honor, have no doubt
could be convinced of mans
guilt, but I am too kind heart
ed to sentence man to the peniten-
tiary or death. would figure that the
man wouldn't commit the crime again
and be in for letting him go. No, your
honor, don't think l can sit on the
jury.
J.-Your excuse is not sufficient, Mr..
Quinlan and you are declared one of
the jurymen.

against J L. Lester, from Bear
county. Lester, who was an engin-
eer on said railroad. got in a collis-

pealed by the railroad company on

poll tax, objection being raised by
the railroad company at the time, but
Notwithstanding this they were regu-
larly empannelled as jurors in the
case. The court held that by failure

qualified jurors in Bezar county to
try the case. The court also held
