The Daily Story
Law Versus Judge Lynch-By Richard MarIzley

Two gentlemen Of Four Aces, q min
ing town. were consulting as to how
TO get rid Of an enemy One demurreC
at shooting since court had been es
tablished.
You see. Jim, he said. they'll
keep us in jail forever waifin' to tr5
as"
Don you worry about that, Pete
said the other These we're comman-
ity isn't ready for real law yet.
So they shot their man and stood
trial
The citizens of Four Aces. eager to
try the new legal system thar had
been introduced, did not inconvenience
the two criminals at all by delay
The murder was committee 1n the
morning and by g o'clock in thr after
noon the trial commenced, A limb of
the law named Simpson was prescott
ing attorney, and one Waterman was
assigned by the court to defend the
accused To save time they were tried
together. The first hour was occu-
pied in fencing between the prosecutor
and counsel for the defense, the latter
claiming that the first shot killed the
mbIer, and the man who fred it was
the murderer. while the other could
not be tried for killing q corpse An
appeal to the Judge established the
fact that both were instrumental in
the deed and they should be con
victed or acquitted together.
Then the prosecutor summoned wit
nesses who saw the shooting The
first was the barkeeper of the saloon
who was standing behind the bar at
the time He testified that he saw
the two men open fire at the same mo
meut on the gambler.
Question-Wbat were you doing
when the shooting commenced
Wituess-Tom OBrian had jist
called for some pizen, and was
reachln' to the shelf back O the bar
for it.
Question-How could you see the
shooting when your back was turned

then decided that a reflection was not
