entertainment success. Amusing
questions and answers, remarkable
statements from the judge and the
attorneys and the humorous story
brought out by the evidence, all
blended to make the entertainment
one of the most laugable successes
ever given.
Col. A. v. Newton, manager Of the
Newton entertainment bureau, the
originator of the affair, conducted the
entertainment in person, acting as at
torney for the prosecution and was
