Show Judge Will Wait and See. An earnest plea was made by Attorney Attor-ney Charles Pettijohn to Judge Pritch-ard Pritch-ard of the criminal court for leniency to a client who had entered a plea of guilty to larceny. The burden of the attorney's argument was that his client cli-ent was the father of twins and was tempted to theft in order to feed the mouths of the infants. "Your honor, I will - say frankly." said Mr. Pettijohn in closing, "that if I were the father of twins and needed food for my family, I would not hesitate hesi-tate to go out and steal it." "Mr. Pettijohn. when you are the father of twins I will consider your proposition," said Judge Pritchard. Indianapolis News. |
