Il Cleared the Accused, but Furnished
an Odd Sequel.
A highly respectable gentleman al.
rived at York one evening with lug
gage and dined well, went to bed
early, ose in good time and had a
substantial breakfast. After this meal
he casually asked the landlord If there
was anything Of special interest in
York. 1.-The assizes are on, but I do
not know If there is anything particu.
larly interesting In the list" was the
response.
'Thanks," drawled the stranger.
'I1l look In If I happen to pass the
court and see."
He did look in and heard a follower
Of Dick Turpin in the dock, charged
with highway robbery, pleading his
innocence vehemently to a stolid Judge
and jury, who, with firm faces, did
not look as If they placed much Gre
dence in the prisoners profession Of
innocence. Suddenly the prisoner
caught sight Of the stranger, who had
strolled in from the hotel out Of curl
osity.
"Here, thank God, is some one who
can prove my in%nocence!" cried the
prisoner, pointing to the stranger, who
was aghast at becoming the center of
interest so Unexpectedly.
He seemed astonished and shook his
head.
"Oh, yes," cried the accused; "just
think You were at Dover-a long
way from here. You came out Of the
Ship hotel, and I took your luggage
in a wheelbarrow to the Calais packet
at the pier. That was the day I am
supposed to have committed the crime
sup here"
The stranger seemed bewildered.
The Judge, struck with the tragic ear
nestness Of the prisoner, questioned
the stranger, but the latter could not
assist him much.
"Have you any notebooks" asked
the ~judge-''any memorandum Of your
movements on that dayY
II am a merchant" replied the stran-
ger, connected with an old established
firm Of bankers in London. I travel a
lot and Of course enter everything In
my books. Here r my keys If the
court cares to send to my hotel and
bring here the books out Of my case.
I can easily settle the point"
The books were fetched. The gentle
man had been in Dover that day and
had left by the Calais packet. This
was sufficient for the Judge and jury.
The prisoner was acquitted.
Comic sequel: Both the banker from
London" and the highwayman were
placed In the same dock shortly after.
