A witness was on the stand testifying for tho defense, It being woll known that tho Judge wns a skilled poker player. Tho witness talked of "going blind," ''raising." "passing," and ho on, and finally his Honor said, gravely: "Mr. Jackson, you are UBlng a good many of what I presume are technical tortus. Will you bo good enough to explain some of them?" Tho witness, with equal gravity, replied: "I shall be pleased to do so, your Honor, If you will kindly let mo have your poker deck for a few momenta." New Orleans Times-Democrat, |
