POOR LII HEITLER HAS
We feel sad and sorry and full
of gloom today, because we~have
been outrageously deceived.
When Hit de Pipe Heitler,
after being soaked $50 and costs
for frequenting a disorderly
house, moved for a new trial, we
were sure that the Hon. Hit de
Pipe had only some pifling rea-
son for the same.
And now Hit de Pipes mo-
ton has come up, and we find in
stead that a terrible injustice was
done that former king of the also
former West Side levee.
For, according to Heitler's at
torney, Heitler never was ar
raigned before the trial at the end
of which a jury of citizens found
him guilty and he was told to fork
over S5U ana coSCS.
We are not quite sure what ar
raigned means, not being ac-
quainted with the ways of law
yers or other sharks.
But from what we've observed
in court, we reckon it must mean
giving the accused chance to
say whether his lawyer has told
him to plead guilty or not guilty.
And if that's the case, you can
see how terrible the injustice to

Erbstein, got all worked up about
this injustice today.
He pointed out what a terrible
thing it was, and what the coun-
try was liable to come to if the
rights Of accused men-and their
attorneys-was run over in this
terrible way.
Also, he said that he wouldtake
the case up to the supreme court
if necessary on that point alone.
Thus, Hit de Pipe HeitIer got
another continuance (contin-
uance is the legal name for put
ting off the evil day on which a
jury decided you had to be sep
arated from so bucks), and City
Prosecutor Raber was given until
December S to explain the m
justice.
Heitler himself was even more
pathetic than his attorney about
the injustice done him.
Heitler got real eloquent, and
went over his whole case again,
and told how the entire police
force and Barney Grogan were in
league against him.
It's a great pity about the in
justice done Heitler, and we hope
his attorney will go right to work
and get justice for hin1-all the
justice that's coming to him.

ROSalie'S
Parents

SCopyrighi. 1917. by Associated Literary Press)
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Brereton were in
a state OF anxiety bordering on hys.
terra. Their only child, the pretty
Resale, had fallen in love with an
unknown young man who had, a few
months ago. moved into their neigh
borhoOd.
There were number OF eligible
youths in Beverly, any one OF whom
would have considered himself only
too fortunate could he have become
the son-inlaw OF the Breretons-
youths that one knew all about, and
whose incomes could be calculated
with great nicely.
Jack Chandler was an artist. and
ROsalie's parents believed artists to
be a poor, Indispensable lot Then,
too. not much more was known of
Miss Graham, the aunt with whom
Chandler lived. The best people -
Beverly had called and their civility
had met with prompt and proper re-
turn, and there things had ended.
Miss Graham. 1t was rumored, was a
woman OF literary tastes, and indeed
was supposed 10 be writing a novel.
II was dreadful to think dear Ros-
allie should be associated with such n
bohemian class-but what were they
TO do? Chandler and their daughter
were both of age and unfortunately
Resale had n little money in her own
right. All that was left for them was
10 try the effect Of direct appeal 10
Miss Graham 10 see if by any possibil-
ity she could do anything. II was
possible that after they had diplomat
ically made her see how Chambers
career might be interfered with, and
had intimated how very slim was
Rosalie's fortune, she might order the
weakling of an artist 10 withdraw his
suit. ROsalie could then be taken 10
New York for couple of weeks and
all would be well.
The plan offered many objections,
and gave but little promise of success.
but neither Mr. nor Mrs. Brereton
could think OF anything else, and they
were not the kind in such an emer-
gency 10 sit and fold their hands.
On this special afternoon they
dressed with elaborate care for their
call on Miss Graham. Just as they

the Breretons.
