THE DUEL

The bingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
Twas half past twelve, and what do
you think?
Nor one nor t'other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese
plate
Appeared to know as sure as fate.
There was going to be a terrible spat.
Il wasn't there, ! simply state
What was told me by the Chinese
plate).
The bingham dog went "BOw-wow-
wow
And the calico cat replied Meow"
The air was Uttered. an hour or so.
With bits of bingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the Chin
ney-place
Up with both hands before its face.
For it always dreaded a family row!
Now, mind. I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is
true).
The Chinese plate looked very blue.
And walled, 'Oh, dear, what shall we
do?"
But the Bingham dog and the calico
cat
WallOwed this way and tumbled that,
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfulest way you ever saw
And, oh, how the bingham and calico
few
Don't fancy / exaggerate-
l got my news from the Chinese
plate).
Next morning where the two had sat
They found no trace of the dog or cat;
And some folks think, unto this day,
That burglars stole the pair away,
But the truth about the cat and pup
Is this-they ate each other up,
Now what do You really think of that?
The old Dutch clock it told me so;
And that is how J came to know.

shot five times and killed on Wednes-
day, May 20.
The trial was held at the county
court house before Justice Lancaster,
who rad Justice Cade sit with him by
invitation as associate, and lasted
nearly five hours, the decision of the
court being reached within few min
utes of the conclusion of the argu-
ments by counsel.
Attorney J. H. Penix represented the
state as prosecutor, while Messrs. R..
H. Thompson and w. ]. Groom con-
Quoted the case for the defense. After
the closing of the testimony argu-
mentary speeches were made by all
these attorneys and the case was sub
mitted
The points in the testimony for the
! defense upon which the courts deci-
| sion evidently rested was that which
showed that Satalano had repeatedly
| threatened the life of Harwell within
the four days preceding the Killing,
and that he had knife in his hand and
was advancing toward Harwell at the
time the fatal shots were fired
The testimony about the knife was
rather vague and difficult to establish,
as search by several officers had
failed to locate it or any other
weapon which .Catalano may have had

testimony. One other negro. a barber
had seen the knife in Catalano's
hand.
