Show As St. Louis Lawyers Talk. Circuit Judge Reynolds had announced an-nounced that he would hear jurors who had excuses to offer for not serving, serv-ing, and a dozen American citizens crowded up lo the bench to tell their troubles. Their excuses were as varied as those who were bidden to the feast that the Bible tells about. One had an important engagement and another could not hear very well, and another had sickness in his family, fam-ily, and another had duties to perform per-form which nobody else on earth could perform, and another was going on a journey. And so It went. The last man in the line wanted to be let off because he was a German. He might have been excused if he had not presented his excuse wrong end forward. "Judge," he said, "I can't understand under-stand good English." "Oh, you'll do all right," said the judge. "There is no good English spoken in here." St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
