turn at Vest, aud fiuds a m w story that
is worth repeating.
The scene is located iu Missouii, of

had been shot by a neighbor. Other emi

his head sunk down between his shoul

associate nudged him and told hitu that
he must make the concluding speech. He

thing to earn the fee which had been
paid him, ruse aud alter gazing earnestly
at the jury for some minutes, began a
speech of which this is a stenographic
