Show TELLS IT ON HIMSELF. Ex-Justice Mayer tells this one, on himself: Just after he had finished charging the Jury one of them arose in the box, and, stuttering frightfully, asked to be excused on the ground of deafness. , "Could you not hear my charge to the Jury?" demanded the Judge. . , "Oh, y-e-y-y-e-es, I c-c-c-c-could h-h-b-hear y-y-y-our cher-cher-cher-charge all r-r-r-rlgnt, b-b-b-ut I c-c-c-ouldn't m-m-m -make her-her-her-head or t-t-t-tail of it, y-y-y-our Hon-on-on-onor!" "Needless to say! I excused him without with-out a reprimand," said the Judge. |
