The Judge Escaped.

y good story comes from Missouri
Judge Fox Of the supreme court killed
turkey in Southeast Missouri the day
after the hunting season closed. HIS
attention was called TO the fact that he
had violated the law, so he went before
the grand jury and made complaint
against himself. lie told the jury that
he mad made II wonderfully long shot
md did not expect T. kill the turkey.
He instructed the jury that it was it,
duty to ndict him. Especiall! it was
his duty to know the Law. II is want OF
foresight was the more inexcusabIe
No indictment was found, and when
asked why 1t was ignored, ne was in.
formed TINT the jury did not haiieve that
he could have killed turkey, as far as
he claimed to have shot.
