once convicted before Judge Reyes of
the larceny of the boots Of United

Judge addressed him as follows:
GU are poor creature and eught
to have known better than 10 steal.
Only rich men can take things with
out paying for them And then rou
must steal In the great town OF Wind
Sor, and the boots of great man like
Senator Chase, the greatest man any
where around. II you wanted to steal
why didn't you steal I'm some little
town In Now Hampshire and the boots
of some man who wasn't OF any con
scquencc:\
I "And then you must steal from him
when he was on his way to Washing
ton md perhaps the only boots he had.
You might have compelled him to
walt until some shoemaker made him
another pair. and shocnakcrs never
keep their promises. And perhaps by
the delay some important treaty might
have failed of ratification because he
was not present In the senate
