The Jury Had to Teach the Pompous
Judge Lesson.

Judge Lesson.
A certain trial judge In n certain
state became so unpopular that the
only way he could get verdict for the
state was to make his charge In favor
of the prisoner. When matters had
reached this stage a famous feud fight
er was arrested on charge OF murder
and brought to trial. The case, which
was the judges first murder trial, at
tracted much attention, and the judge,
whose unpopularity arose from his
vanity and pomposity. greatly enjoyed
his role as umpire Of the law. The
case was clear one against the de-
fendant, and his guilt was so conclu-
sively proved that the Judge even pre-
sumed to charge accordingly. The
Jury retired, and when they filed back
into court 1t was noticed that they
avoided the prisoners eye and looked
unusually solemn.
Gentlemen" said the judge, waving
the clerk Into silence, "have you
reached verdictT

The judge opened a paper Dag ana
drew out a black cap. With an i'm
portant look around the courtroom he
placed this on his head and pulled 1t
down until 1t met his ears.
"Prlsoner," he said, "arise and look
at the jury. Jury, arise and look at the
prisoner. Gentlemen. what Is your

The jurymen, who had been whisper

"Of course" he said later, when ev-
cry one had shaken the innocent mans
hand, "he was guilty all right, and
that was going to be our verdict, but
when the little judge put that black
cap on his head and pulled 1t down
over his ears like that there was only
one thing for US to do, and we did It,"
