ly regulating bis general officiousness,
The case was q breach OF promise suit
brought against Dennis Casey, more
familiarly known as Hayden M. Gaylord,
who, in carrot tinted wig, was 80 fas-
cinating a trifier that the sum Of $50, 900
seemed like a ridiculously low estimate OF
the damage he would be sure to infiict on
susceptible feminine affections. The
plalntifi, blushing blond, was radiant
vision In q pink skirt, a green-plaid
polonaise and love OF bonnet. 80 pref
ty, so aIluring was she that it seemed a
real pity her impersonator, Fredd o. Hay
ward, hadn't been born q girl. But the
"angel child" was certainly a sad fiirt and
her carryinRs-on with the jurymen, espe-
cially the Italianized Guy P. Lamson, was
perfectly scandalcus.
First came the impanelinR OF the jury
more like q verbal impaling on the sharp
questions Of His Honor. The twelve good
men and true looked like bunch OF hu-
man miscellany picked up at Chelsea
jail exodus In the spring. They were:-
|. NJ. White Up. J. Blanchard), whose
reputation for truth and veracity was
borne out by the fact that he Was black
as night; One Lung, Chinaman L. o.
Thayer), who hasn't yet been ordered to
sit out doors by the doctors and isn't by
any means so far gone With consumption
as to have only one lung; Michael MuIca-
hey &c. 8. Boothl, whose brogue had
Yankee twang; Hiram Hearsay 10. X.
Greeuel, who was stone deaf and couIdn't
hear any body say,f ny hing Icy Marks
(Frederick Leeds), au Lsrarlite indeed,
not utterly destitute OF guile; Wear Good
clothes &C. F. Griswoldl, who evidently
didn't believe in wearing them common
WelIdone Macaroni (Guy p. Lamson),
who looked to the fair plaintiff good
enough to eat Count de Crackerjack (P.
G. Dodge), as full OF French airs as a
dancing master; Ole Olson OR. W. Meal
lister). easily mistaken for an honest
swede; Jonathan Judkins IA. M. Tot
mani, with q good word for everybody
because be has so many glass houses be
dassn't throw stones; Jimmie Spike |
(Glenn Bailey, intended possibly TO hold |
the Jury together; Fritz Bumblesburger- |
horfendorienstein (DF. r. A. Eaton), Of
German extraction and with q name that
would down q spelling school az though 1
ii had been run over BY a train OF cars.
A person Of great physical endurance, |
Fritz spelt his name by syilables for the
benefit OF the court, who inclined to the
opinion that II needed simplifying badly.
Furious Fireworksy Harold Hodges),
with giant cracker as was a giant, was
thrown out, being considered too explo-
sive for jury box. Guy Osha, having
had considerable experience with tramps,
was detailed to police duty and appeared
to know Just how to take the jury.
The impaneling process over, court ad-
journed for refreshments, His Honor's
throat as we'll Is bis wit being exceeding
" dry. During the fntermission, Mr.. ,
Dodge announced q clog dance by a noted
J. Gould, who proved to be J.
Andrew Gould, a nimbIe dancer whose
ieet kept time to spirited strains of L. J.
Blakely's fiddle. Ralph Dunn gave 9
1ne exhibition of Indian club swinging to
The music OF the orchestra and repeated II I
With electric lights In the end OF his clubs. Z
Frederick Leeds strolled onto the stage 9
sith studied ncnehalance, q lighted
cigarette in his mouth, and sang I
matches, % be happened to remember 9
hem, Of ditty about what a difference 4
IN hour will make, enveloping the hia- n
uses in a cloud of smoke. All OF these 4
rtists were cordially reeeiyed and imper- 1
lively recalled. IA
On the feassembling OF court the wit v
lesses were called and took the oath, e
wearing BY such popular idols as Rev 4
fraser Metzger, Rev. Joseph Hamilton, d
}. r. Sargent, Dana A. Spooner, p. II. I,
oslyn and Nick Niebaum. The four
Illnesses were Reuben Louder ernest d
Iatchl, who exasperated His Honor by n
saying "Louder" when asked n
Or his name; John Gum wv. r. sar-
ent), who was warned not to go on half y,
ocked; Claw Hammer III. W. Vaii), re- N
orted to be regular driver, and /. @ p
mo (E. II. Mason), whom the Judge said
e didn't know and didn't want TO.
The testimony Of these witnesses was
ecidedly damaging to both plaintiff and :
efendant, the latter being made out
lonster, who would only forsake vice 10
nbrace iniquity; while the plaintiff by
q impassioned plea for woman's rights
saled her own fate. Attorney Skin
George II. Slack }, eounsel for the plain
n, was a regular Demosthenes for orato-
!; wit flashed, vocal thunder rolled, and
3 nearly brought on q storm o; tears BY
Iecting aliusions to bis beauteous but
cart broken client. His suggestion that
le periidious Casey be trampIed under
'ot and his mangled corpse thrown into
he Forest street reservoir was greeted BY
howl Of delight.
No less fiery we're the uttarances Of At
