declared to States Attorney John Way
man that he had arranged with Erb-
stein for McCutcheon to receive pay
ment for holding out Similar testi-
mony was given by McCutcheon and a
charge was made against Erbstein.
He was tried and on Dec. II the
Jury reported unable to agree. A sec
ond trial was begun on Jan. 8 and re-
suited in the acquittal of the attorney
yesterday.
While attorneys were selecting the
Jury for the first trial, Attorney Erb.
stein brought charges before the Chi
cago Bar association that States At
torney Wayman had attempted to bride
a JUROR while practicing in the Grimm
al courts several years ago. Erbstein

A. MODERN FABLE.
Plagiarised From the Fra. !"

Satan was at one time a man.
Later he evolved into an angel
and dwelt in Paradise.
There must have been a time
when he was worthy of trust and
affection, otherwise the Almighty
would never have allowed him
to enter Heaven.
But Satan was Of peculiar
disposition.
He had the artistic tempera-
ment, which is to say he was
moody, irritable, faulthnding,
also he was idle.
He smoked cigarettes and
much of the time was full Of dope
ard booze.
Instead of trying to remedy
the weak points of Paradise. he
merely pointed them ont and
harrangued about them to all who
would listen. They tell us Sat
an still finds work for idle hands
to do" It was the same then !:
Satan would neither tune harps,
launder the robes. nor polish the
pavement, which was made Of
gold and precious stones.
1t took lot Of labor and q deal
Of skill to set the paving stones,
but while the workers were at it.
Satan would sit on the curb and
make sport Of them.
When the Almighty came
around to see how things were get
ing along Satan would whisper
unkind things about Him after
he had passed and kick about how
severe He was in discipline.
The Almighty warned Satan
from time to time to get busy, but
his answer was. 81 am
