Case of "Jimmy Jones."
Y'ears and years ago there was a
character known in the city as "Jim

of the type that would get tight just
as often as he had a chanre, and
that was his sole offense. Justice
John knew him. and It was reported
that ho ami Jones were in the same
company In the Confederate army,
but this is not known. Jimmy would
pome at least once a week, and when
the shaking, and trembleing form
would saunter up to the bar, the Jus

"Good mornlnir, Mr. Jones."
"Mornln', Justice."
"What Is the matter this time, Mr.

and I rather expect I got a little loo

Jones would reply nn l say that he
thought ten days would re enough.
But Justice John would demur, and
say that he would knock off six
months and then auk Jimmy to an
a little moro time to his o.vn sen

And in. two Or three days, afier

of the best stories that emanated

Perhaps Justice John was seen at
his best wiiou his court room was
filled with sightseers. If he was feel
ing good lit would add fancy touches
lo the day's business. It is recalled
1 hut some fifteen years or more ago,
when the court was packed with
members of the chorus of the "Black
("took," then doing the Southern cir
cuit, one of the cases on the docket
was a row between conflicting ole-
tnents In a colored church. The mem
bers of the "Black Crook" company
were all from New Y'ork and other
cities of the North.
The case was staged for the beniv
fit of the visitors, and the witnesses
began to testify. The pastor of the
congregation wns officious and was
continually talking to witnesses on
both sides. He was a tall, -slick-looking
citizen, very black, gold
rlmtned spectacles ornamenting his
countenance. The evidence was
ridiculous and confusing, and Justice
John divined exactly what was going
on. He had watched this colored di
vine for fifteen minutes, and when
the contradictory statements he-gan
to flow thick and fast, he suddenly
baited the case.
Colored Preacher Before Bar.
"Here, you you nlggir with that
long coat and gold-rimmed glasses.
You come here to me." and he find
the colored preacher before the bar.
"What have you to do with this
rase? Are you a witness? What do
you mean by talking to the witnesses
on both sides? Who sent for you?
Whero did you come from?"
"I am the pastor of the church,
your honor," said the man, and he
affected the nasal tones of (he peo
ple of the North. "I am from Nil
Yawk, sir. Have been here trying
to preach and to save souls for sev
eral months."
"Just what I thought." said the
Justice, eyeing the man. "From Nil
Yawk, eh? That Is the trouble with
my niggers now. Tou Nu Yawk nig
gers get a little education and then
come here and undertake to tell my
folks what they must do. Been here
several months, eh? Well, you have
been here too long. Y'ou are the
chief devil In this row In this con
gregation, and I do not propone to
let you or any other Nu Yawk nig
ger come down here and ruin tny
people. These people were getting
along nil right up to the time you
came and they have been quarreling
ever since. I am going lo continue
this case for three weeks. I ntu go
ing to ejve you threo days lo get
out of the city and to rtay cut." The
Jrsice had sized the situation, the
man left nnd the case was never
again heard from.
