H United States Co art Occupied With f Grave Inquiry t Yeeiterdny -Great Boietnnlty ana Keen Intercut n xes- tlmony of 1ve Witnesses as to How xxmc a uuie is. v .- ; w j The Vase of E. MV Spoon against the Southern Railway Company was up for hearing yesterday before the United States Court .The train had run against . Spoon's . wagon ' and knocked him up Into the air. " The railroad -contended that there was plenty of room for him and bis team between, the main track and the spur track, namely, , tt feet . It was no trouble to get the length lot the wag on, but that of the mules was of an other color.- . 1 J . Capt Geo. F. Bason, for the rail road, put .-up- Ave witnesses, - among them ', some .aegroes, and - failed to elicit '" even t en opinion as to how ions a mule la, They all confessed sheer- ignorance, white and negro.--? -"I don't ask you." the captain ex plained to the witness, "how long a mule Is. from his nose to the end of his tall, nor from the end of his tall to the tip of which ever, ear he thrusts forward; what I ask you la your best Idea of a mule's length from his nog gin, between his ears, to the root of his tall. What Is your opinion T" CoL. Klrkpatrlck was diligent In cross-examination. "If you had a mule at hand and were going to meaaure htm." he ask ed a colored witness, "where would you stand T" "Anywhere, sah," swore the negro, "ceppln at h'ls hlne end." ' Both Capt. Bason and Judge Boyd were In theMule Pen last night to get the benefit of reportorlal om niscience Not a reporter present was able to clear the Query, and Wil liam, the club doorkeeper, admitted, "Jedge, -hit's too hahd a question fes dta hyuh po' nigger." Anyhow, the jury turned In a verdict against the road for $1,000. "I lost that case," said Capt Ba son, "because I didn't . know and couldn't prove the length .of a mule. By gosh. If I hadknown how big a Agger It was gofhg to cut I would have got JlmWadsworth or Charlie or some offhem aa witnesses, who are experjM on the length of a mule. The Jury system Is the darnedest frauiKln existence. Because there was 1 Safest between them tracks and I failed to show how long a mule Is that crowd of fellows, who have look ed along a mule all their Uvea, found against me. Don t you reckon that any man on that panel knew that 21 feet gives plenty of room for a mule to git in T I didn't set any great store by the point: I thought I had Just aa well hunt witnesses to prove that the sun shines at noon as to prove the length of a mule, dera It all! But these derned hoodlums will put ex penses on the rsllrooad anyhow. And people keep asking, 'Why do you want to move from, the State to the Fed eral Courts V Don't they know that ail these State people are politicians and have to go up against the cam paigna, and that the Federal people have got a life-time Job of it? When the Federal people get seventy, why, they can go a-flshln'. The length of a muiei Qosh dern It all!" XX TUB CITY POLICE COURT. Negro Fined for Thraahlng Ills Bet. ter naif rroscripuon Drunk 020.
