A wayfarer picked up by the Jeftr onvllle police was presented in city court, was questioned by Mayor Warder. The -latter had learned that his wife was a very large colored woman. .He, however, asserted he was not n negro, but a "South American."

The colored man replied that he was guilty as charged of everything "except that to wit, I didn't do that, your honor." Indianapolis News. IggssgssjijS WIJom of Birds.
