"This is a case, gentlemen of the
Jury," said toe Judge after biting off
the end of a plug of tobacco, "whar
the prisoner took the law into his own
hands by shoot in' Tom Mnrphy tn a
friendly game o' draw. Bill Jones,
tell the Jury why yo' done it."
"We was bavin' a fa'r game," Bald
the prisoner, "as 1 supposed. Thar
was fou' dollars in the pot I showed
a pa'r o queens oh tens. Tom showed
a full o' queens on sevens. Now, I'll
leave it to the Jury whether any pack
o keerds they ever see had five queens
ba ft"
"Do yo rest yo' case thar?" asked
the Judge.
'I does," replied tho prisoner.
"Jim Brown," said the Judge, "I ap
pointed yo' the persecutln' attorney
in this case, and now I would like to
know what yo got to say agin that
hon'able and manly statement"
"There Is two sides to every ques
tion, yo honah the side of the pris
oner and the side ag'In the prisoner.
Now, the side agin the prisoner is
this"
"Have I got to listen to the other
side?' asked the Judge.
"Certainly, yo' bonnh."
"I'd ruther not do that"
"Wbyr ,
"'Cause I got my mind made up that
the killln' o' Tom Murphy was justi
fiable bo mere I de. If I listen to the
other side I wont know whether I
stand on my head or my heels."
"It's the duty o' the cou't," replied
Mr. Brown. 'lo listen to evidence on
both sides. How yo goin' to decide on
questions o' law without knowin' what
yo' air talkln' about?"
"Yo kin go on," said the judge re
luctantly. "Bill Jones," began the prosecutor,
"says that thar was two queens In his
own hand and three in Tom Murphy's
hand. How do we know, yo honah,
but that Tom held three good queens
and the -prisoner one from another
pack ?"
"1 tole yo so, Mr. Brown," remarked
the Judge impatiently. "Yo gone and
mixed me alt up. What have yo' got
to say agiu that argyment, BUI Jones?"
"I have to give yo' bonah a fac' that
nnsti't been mentioned. As soon as
Tom see that I had two queens he let
one o hls'u drap."
."Thar, now. Mr. Brown, put in the
Judge, "1 got it all straightened out.
Don't yo' go mix me up agiu."
"Bill Jones," asked the prosecuting
attorney, "whar did the game and the
shootiu' take place?"
"In the Antlers saloon across the
street."
"When?
"Tbls mornlnV
"At what table?"
"The one behind tho fur end o' the
bur."
"What queen was drapped?"
"The queen o' diamonds."
"Yo honah." turning to the judge,
"will yo' please send ovnli to see if
that queen is still lyln' on the Uoo'?"
"Jim Coyne, yo go ovah. and if yo'
kin II ml tin cyard bring It into court"
There was a limn of conversation
while the messenger was gone. Coyne
returned and banded a card to the
Judge, who looked at tt with perplex
ity. "Jim Brown," he said angrily, "L tole
yV)' yo' beltah leave t'other side o this
case oloue. Yo' got it mixed up wo'se
n ovah. This yere cyard Isn't the
queen o' diamonds. It's the queen o
spades."
"I kin make It all plain to yo honor
if you'll listen to me. 1 ain't a-goin' to
argy high toned so's the jury can't un
derstand, but plain. BUI Jones has
been a cyard sharp for twenty yea's or
mo. Is it likely that he couldn't tell
the queen o spades from the queen o'
din monds?
"You bet he could, from the judge.
Then Isn't it plain to yo honah and
the jury that Bill Jones has convicted
hlsscir o' perjury?"
"Reckon he has!" exclaimed the
Judge. "Whnt yo got to say agin that
argyment, Bill Jones?"
"I got this, yo' honah. Isn't It Jlst
as bad cheatin' to drap a queen o
spndes as a queen o' diamonds?"
"Beckon," said the Judge, blown In
the opposite direction, "yo' done right"
"Yo' bonnh," put tn the prosecuting
attorney. "1 hold In my hand the pack,
of cyards the two were playtn with
when the klllin come off. Now, If the
queen you have belongs to this pack,
Tom Murphy, who dropped that queen
was Innocent o cheatin', wasn't be?"
"Ofro'se."
The cards were compared and were
of the name backs.
"Mr. Brown." said the Judge, "when
nfr yo coin' to git through this case?
The furdcr yo1 go the mo' yo' mix us
up."
Yo honah," cried the prisoner. "I
cot J1;t one mo thing to say. Tom
Murphy d nipped a crard with $4 In
the pot. Iau't that enough to show
hea tin'."
"Yes."
"Then I want to know what yo keep
n up this trial foV The persecutln'
(ttornoy got yo so mted up yo' don
know whar yo' stand. I reckon yo'
I -tter dismiss the cne."
"The opinion o the con't Is that the
MUliV was justifiable, because either
no or t'other of 'em was monkeylri'
with the cyards. In these cases In thl
vent country the man that gits first
drap has the law with him. Slch beln
