Warner. He had a case in one of the Jus

postponed on two or three occasions. On
this particular day he demanded a trial.
The lawyer on the other side, u man very
unpopular with all Judges and attorneys,
grew abusive. Then he became so insult
ing that young Oulnotte's French blood
boiled over and he threw n heavy Ink
stand at the man. striking him on the
head. The result was that Oulnotto wni
arrested for disturbing the peace. He went
before Judge Finney the next morning m
police court.
"Are you guilty or not guilty?" asked
the Judge.
"Oulltv." answered Mr. Oulnotte.
Ordinarily that would settle a case. The
Judge Is supposed to have no alternative
except to punish. .Judge Finney scowled.
"Young man," he said, "this Is a case
of a most aggravated assault. You actu

He still has It under ndvlsemont, and
the reason tan be understood from the
conversation between the Judge and Mr.

same day of the trial.
"You took Oulnntte's case under ad

"Yes." answered the Judge, "but I ought
to have lined him for not breaking that
fellow's neck!"
