K. E. Esholman, Pastor,
the L'liost of a cliiiucu till ho went Into
the box. To luiu, he had Jiihl come
out of the pun niter M'rving a sentence
of fourteen years for burglary and as
sault. Ho had boon u criminal till his life,
starting as a sucuk thief nnd graduat
ing as a strong-arm num. ' He was mld-dle-,".god,
undersized, though strong, a
stubble of beard fringed bis unwashed
face, his eyes were 'shifty. Ho could
Just read and his writing abilities were
limited to being able to sign his name.
Of course nobody thought he had the
ghost of a chance of escaping on the
manslaughter charge.
He slouched Into the box, aud took
the oath Indifferently.
"The prisoner will tell his story In
his own way," his counsel had said.
Ho glanced indifferently at tho Jury,
who sat back with bored expressions.
They had already made up their minds.
The Judge had made up his. It was
to he twenty years-.
"I sure did kill SUIT Larrlgan."
The prisoner's counsel elevated his
eyebrows and smiled at the prosecut
ing attorney. That was not the way
to begin. Tho prosecuting attorney
smiled back at the other. He didn't
care what sentence the prisoner got ;
It was all iu the day's work to him,
and there was a woman charged with
homicide to follow. Much more Inter
esting than the nn'ulr.s of this prison
bird. "I sure did kill him but listen, ycr
honor, lie played a d n low triek "
The judge rapped smartly. "Such
language will not he tolerated In
court," he said.
The prisoner looked apologetic. "It's
this way, yer honor," he said. ".Stiff
Larrlgan and me was pards. We pulled
oil u whole bag of tricks and the police
never got wise to us. There was live
burglaries In Philadelphia "
Sensation. What was the prisoner's
counsel doing, permitting him to give
his case away?
"Then there was that case In Pitts
burg. Stiff, me and Bill Oates framed
It up. The cops got us and I got fif
teen years In the pen. I ain't kicking.
I served twelve and got out on good
conduct.
"Afore I went up for trial I got word
from Stiff. If I wouldn't give certain
things away he'd see that me wife and
the kid didn't come t want. So 1 took
mo medicine and sold nix.
"Fifteen years Is u long time, yer
honor, even when three of It gits
docked. But I served mo time and
couie out. Me wife had stopped coin
ing after the llfht year or two. Fact
Is she died."
He diew his raggod sleeve across his
eye. The Judge, emotionally provoked,
wondered whether twenty-live years
wouldn't do better than twenty.
"She died of hunger, yer honor. It
.was the bad year no work, and Stiff,
he hadn't done what he'd said he'd do.
When I come out her tombstone hud
already begun to topple over."
"Confine yourself to the evidence,"
snarled the Judge.
The prisoner sniffed. "I wunted to
git even with Stiff Larrlgan over that,
but after a while I give up troubling.
It didn't seem to matter when she'd
been dead so long, and If Stiff had
forgotten, well, I guesHlota of others
would ltuve.
' "Strange thing was about the kid,
though. You see, yer honor, the old
woman had been proud. Wouldn't let
the neighbors know she was starving
but the kid well, she'll saved all the
scraps for him. After she died some
one took him away. I found at last
that It was Stiff. Guessed he'd had a
spark of conscience or something.
"1 set off to tlml blin. But Still' had
got mixed up In n'w trouble and was
lying low. And then they looked on
me as u stool-pigeon for a long time and
wouldn't let me see hlin. You git for
gotten after nerving twelve year.
"But'at last I did find Stiff". It was
by accident uiore'n anything elso. I
was in a scatter and saw three men
talking together, and overheard how
they was planning to pull off a trick.
I knew one of them for Stiff Immedi
ate. Tho other was Red Rube.
"The third was Dick. Kid of seven
teen, yer honor, aud Stiff had brought
him up to be a sneak thief like his
daddy started. I listened, and I
thought of his mother, and I picked up
an Iron bar I seed and laid Stiff out.
That's all, yer honor."
The Jury stirred Iu the box. The
prosecuting attorney woke up too late
to realize that he had thrown away
his chances. The Jury consulted with
out retiring.
". . . agreed upon your verdict?'
"We find the prisoner not guilty."
"Prisoner, you are discharged,"
snapped tho Judge. "You've had, a
lucky escupe."
The prisoner's eyes turned toward
the court. A boy of seventeen, seated
among the visitors, came quickly to
ward him. They clasped hands and,
armlln arm, left the court together.
"Call the next "easel" snapped the
Judge. ' I
