A REALISTIC PICTURE.

Il Proved Too Absorbing For Old Unsle
Juniper.
The Mississippi courtroom was pack
ed with negroes, and it was fairly
evident, says a contributor to the Tay-
lor-Trotwood Magazine. that some
thing OF unusual interest was about
to transpire. Within the bar on the
prisoners seat an old negro leaned
eagerly forward as his attorney ar
gued his plea Of not guilty before the
jury.
'Who, gentlemen of the jury, has
sworn that he saw this man commit
this theft?" demanded the attorney.
I'VE have broken every link in the
weak chain of circumstantial evidence
with which the state has tried to en-
tangle him. Why. his neighbor, Tom
Jones. swore that he sold him the
meat that was found in the defend.
ants house and that he shot the hog
because it was wild.
1T is true that Colonel Smith swore
that one OF his hogs disappeared about
Dec. % and that about fifty yards
from certain stump he found blood
and then followed trail of blood from
that spot to this defendants cabin. But
what of that?
This defendant told you-and his
cife and brother swore the same-that
that was the blood OF coon which he
had shot and carried home the day be
fore Smith lost his hog. Give him jus
tee as you would do if he were
white man. He cannot help being
black. The leopard cannot change his
spots nor the Ethiopian his skin For
twenty years he has been a leader in
the church. Let him remain free to
enjoy the bread Of life with others Of

before Glenister and swept back

Glenister covered the deputies, from
