Told Out of Court
This is told on Senator Coggeshall.who has
represented tho Oneida (N. Y.) district In
the state senate for eighteen years: Early
iu his career Senator Coggeshall had a
reputation as a Justice court lawyer ami
In Watervllle, where he practiced, It was
iiistoniary to close the stores and business
places whenever there was an Interesting
suit on, so that all might hear Coggeshall
question a witness or sum up.
Once before Justice of thu Peace Hitch
cock a caso wtis tried In the forenoon nnd
iu the afternoon tho attorneys summed up,
each speaking twice. The court room was
packed with luti rested spectators ami thu
Judge heard tho lawyeis patiently. Cog
geshall was in his element. Finally at
evening the lawyers stopped talking.
' I am much obliged to you, gentlemen,"
said the Judge, "for this afternoon s enter
tainment, ami I know the audience has
been pleased. It may Interest you to know,
however, that 1 entered judgment for the
plaintiff while you were at dinner and be
fore the speaking began."

To say Judge Phillips was hot expresses
It mildly. Turning to the nttorney, hu said
sharply:
"Either give that man back his pants at

don't do this Immediately you wdll never
be nllowed to come Into this court again
as long as I am on thu bench.
The lawyer gave up tho pants.
