Show Judge Too Generous. James Brown, colored, tried in the Icilianapolis city court recently on a charge f assault and battery, evidently evi-dently thought the judge was too generous gen-erous or else he was of the opinion that it would be better for him if he did not appear too greedy. When the juJsre announced his ruling he offered to give back a part of his fine. After hearing all of the evidence, Walter Pritehard, the judge, looked at the defendant and said : "I will jive you ?2o and costs." "That's all right, judge," replied the defendant, "just give me the $Jo and tan fiin keep the costs." |
