expected to-day from the Collector of
the Port at Norfolk, before whom the
Frye s master and crew were to appear
to tell their story of the vessels cap

Meanwhile an immediate decision by
the board was looked for on the ques-

Witness Would Have Preferred to Be

Court Testimony.

An aged negro porter, nearly eighty
years old, was arrested on some trivial
charge, for which he was later dis
charged. 1t proved, during the trial,
that he had never seen the inside of
, court before, and the hustle of events
greatly dazed and embarrassed him.
AS he stood up when his name was
called the clerk sang forth:
DO you solemnly swear that the
testimony you shall give in this case
shall be the truth, tn whole truth,
and nothing but the truth. so help you
God?'
And the negro started back gasp
