nation out Of Germany for the use of
an enemy.
Here was a pretty pass. In my hur-
ry to get away l had forgotten my
passport, or, rather. l had thus far not
been required to show It, and it had
not occurred to me that the document
would be now required.
When we reached Il city, didn't
know what city, was taken from the
train and conducted to the headquar-
ters Of an officer who, l judged by
the respect paid him, was Of high
rank. He received me with a lowering
port and, looking at my wig, said what
by his expression l Judged to mean,
Take him out and shoot him"
The soldiers advanced to take me
In a fit of desperation l seized my red
wig and, throwing it on the floor,
trampled on it and cried out, 81 am
not a red headed man; l am an Amer
lean citizen"
There must have been something
ridiculous in the act, for the officer
burst into a laugh. Then an inter
prefer was called, who translated my
story. AS soon as it was understood
that I was an American and the pass
port belonged to me l was set at lib
erty, with an apology. Realizing that
my train had gone on. l asked for a
permit to travel on a troop train, and
n was given Inc.
l could not endure to travel without
my wig, SO l retained it. During my
journey through Belgium / fell in Will
a Trenchman with Il red head. As
soon as we passed into France he gave
me his passport, which he no Longer
needed.
While working my way south TOWARD
Paris l was set upon by Il party o

Bullet Entered His Own Back.

Showed Jury How Man Mas Shot and
Bullet Entered His Own Back.
The acme Of realism was reached,
though by accident, in a criminal trial
that took place u number Of years ago
at Lebanon. o.
Two men had a personal encounter.
One Of them after vainly trying to
draw his pistol from his hip pocket
turned to fee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small of the back. One
chamber Of his pistol was found to
have been fred. His assa1lant was
tried for murder.
The defense commended that the man
had shot himself while trying to draw
his pistol, which had become entangled
in the lining Of the pocket. and that the
prisoners shot had not taken effect.
The prosecution commended that such
a wound could not have been self In
ficted.
The defendants counsel, Clement Il.
Vallandigham, undertook to demon
strate to the jury just how the dead
mans pistol had hung in the pocket
and Just how possible It was to inflict
such a wound. Suddenly there was a
loud report, and the lawyer sank to
the floor. The ball had entered the
back almost in the identical spot where
the dead man had been shot.
The defendant was acquitted. Mr..
Vallandigham died--Exchange.
