IT feel in a mercifu1 mood this
morning." the court said to the three
old offenders, one a white-haired man,
one young man and a woman.
I'm very thankful that you are"
one.
Judge Mullowny told the trio he
had sent them down on the farm many
times as a matter of duty and to act
as a deterrent to others. To the wom-
an he said he had been merciful on
numerous occasions, and that he re-
GREETED it was necessary to send her
down at all.
"In releasing you this time," the
court concluded, II sincerely hope
you will turn over a new leaf. Please
make an honest effort to refrain
from the use Of liquor and all of you will
become useful members Of society,"
Each member of the trio promised
to make the effort.
Then came the seventeen first Of
tenders. The court told them some
thing Of the evils of intemperance,
and concluded by placing them on
probation.
Tomorrow morning Judge Mullowny
will appear on the bench with Judge

a last official farewell to members Of
the bar and start the practice Of his
