One sought a place to do a crime
80 lone not even God should be aware.
God gave his wish and drew aloof;
Yet not alone he found himself in proof,
Since-his own soul-was there.

Ho ’swado Miss ’Lizbeth, and bimeby she gin

She an her ma went tor Louisville, an’ dey

“lVoll, Miss Grace she got married. My

dem dreams is mity bad signs, honey. She

Mars Lance he uz cap’n of a comp‘ny, an'
he say he bleege fer git back home, an’

her ma, ole miss, gin me to her fo’ she died,
cos we’s bofe raise up gals together in ole Vlr-
giuny, an den I nuss her baby. She couldn’
truss dat baby wid nobody but me. an ez
Miss Grace git bigger it tuk me‘n her ma
bofo all our time awaitin’ on her an’ a doin’
for her. So 111’ Daisy got ways mo lak a
eman dun Miss Grace waz wen she’s mar-
ried. She uz ole nufi' to git married,
too; she uz ebry day 0’ sebenteen, but she
wan’t no mo’ count fer wuk—huh! I useter
put out her clean clozo fo’ do fiah, an’ fix her
watah for her tor wash, an’ pull off her shoes
an’ stocking, an’ peck up her tings an put
’em away. I knowed Miss Grace couldn'
do widout me ’way down dar munks all dem
strange folks, an’ she want g’wino off nohow,
like po‘ folks, dout a maid, so I went erlong
wid her. Dat was in March. Bout do his 0'
May Mars Lance went ofl wid his comp’ny.
He didn’t come back no Ind—ho was kilt. His
body servant come home, an' fetch his boss
an’ his watch an’ chain tor Miss Grace.
Miss Grace ’pear lak she stunt, she don’ tel:
no intrus in nothin’. She stay on wid do
Alstons. Miss ’Lizbeth~ want her tor come
home tor live, but Miss Grace say, “I don
want tor go home whar all do gals I useter go

didn’t know nobody. I ruther stay. here whar
he growed up, an ovybody loved'him.” Miss
’Lizbeth she think Miss Grace boun’ for do
right ’bout ovyting. Soon’s Miss Grace got
on her black we 'went up ter see Miss ’Lizbeth
—dey was up insider do Yankee lines. Miss
’Lizbeth did sholy look had. She look mos’
ez ole az ole Miss do wen she die. Soon’s she
laid eyes on Miss Grace she bust out cryin’,
an’ she say, “Oh, my po’ chilol” She look
lak she tuck it harder’n Miss Grace do of
anythin'. One day when Miss Grace ain’t in
de room I say, “Miss Grace git ober' it atter

“You ought ter be ’shamed o’ yerself, Elviry,

“Miss ’Lizbeth, you must skuse mc. Yer

times you useter. hab wcn youso lak Miss
Grace? Many’s de time dat I’so gone to do
graveyard and fetch yer home oifen Mars
Miles’ grave utter dark”—for Miss ’Lizbeth
was awidow when Mars Thomas marry her.
But my talkin’ don’ do no good. Miss
Grace don’ seem to notice how poly her ma
was, an’ t’want none 0’ my business to ’strcss
her no Ino’n she was already; so bimoby we
wont back to Miss Grace’s new kinfolks.
Miss Grace git a letter onco’n a wile by
some 0’ dem griller sojers what came froo,
an’ utter wile shc git a letter fum. her pa dat
her Ina ain’t so well, an’ den Miss Grace git
oneasy. She says: “Pa writ unbeknownst
to Ina, an‘ I feerd she had off,” an’ she say
she bleege to go an’ sw her ma.
Dar was ayoung lady an’ her aunt fum
do some part 0’ Kaintucky wat we come'fum,
ben a visitin’ down dar whar Miss Grace was
a livin’, an’ day was a. gwino home. Dey
frcn’s done sent fer ’em, an’ (icy cadj driver
he was do one what fetch do letter. So Miss
Grace sent me to cyah ’em a note axin’ of
we can go wid ’cm, and day sent doy comp
’menso an’ dqy’d be very glad 0’ her comp’ny.
Miss Alston had a heap o’ dem ole hard
beat biscuits what I ’spises, an’ cole ham an’
chicken, an’ I donno what all put up for a
snack, c05 it was two days we’d be on do
road, an’ her an’ Miss Mary an’ do boys cry
wen dey kiss Miss Grace good-by, but dey
ain’t spillin’ no tears fer me, kaso I’se glad
I’se gwino away fum dal‘. _
I reckon you nebber did see sech a lookin’
thing ez dat cadj was. Dey done tuck one 0'
dose heah spring waggins an’ histed a 010
carryall top ober a piece Oh it; free bode
seats was nailed across it, doe do white folks’
seats is got quishuns on ’om. Ole Unc’ Dave
Rollins was pearched up on de front seat, an’
Miss Sallie Moore was ridin' backurds. an’
Miss Pressley Braan—dat was Miss Sallio's
aunt—she sot on do back seat, an’ dar by do
mules beads was two fine sojer gommen all
in dcy gray nuniform cloze wid brass buttons
nn’ ridin' gayly bosses, tryin tor look mity
don-kccry-a-fied, an’ when Miss Sallie ’gun to
injuce Miss'Grace to ’cm, one un ’em up an’
say: “I think I’se had do pleasure o’ meetin'
Miss Alston befo’.” Hah, chiloi ain’t I done
said so? I knowd dem gemmen ain't g’wino
lcm Miss Grace alone. But Miss Grace asn’t
done grievin’ yet. She glance up'mity her
loss fum und’ her lil’ black grinnydeen sun-
bonnet an’ call hisnamc. He lit down fum
offen his boss, an’ Miss Grace jes tech his han‘
an’ jump in an’ took a. seat long side or ole
Miss Presly Braxton. She ain’t got no use
for, him—I sec (lat mity quick—he’s wasin’
he's’time. - .
Miss Sallie Moore‘s a rule lady; she uz do
top 0’ do pot, she uz; but she’s one 0’ dose
heah fat young ladies. She ain’t trim an’ »
slim an’ putty made like Miss Grace. An'
ole Miss Presley Braxton—teck keerl She's
one 0’ dem niming, piming, ole big bugs.
Miss Alston ain’t spicion nobody tcckin’ any
notice 0’ Miss Grace. She say: “I feel so
much easier ’bout Grace, now dat dars gem-
men along."
Dey tech der hats an’ say: “Oh, yes,
madam, we will be a body guard for do la-
dies.” Gret body guard dey was. Huh!
’Twas a SWeet day—long in do ., summer
time. Ter hoah dem sojers talk, dey’s spilin’
to fltc. Dey cantor along by do cadj, day
did, an’ talk mitey big, braggin’ ’bout doy
own doin’s, an’ den doy say onct ev’y lil’

sumpin’ lak dat, an’ den dey’d go a-gallopin’
off, lookin’ outer de cornders 0' day eyes 'ter
see if anybody teckin’ any notice un ’em. I
\vatchin". Bless you l—an’ den doy’d come
cavortin’ back, bookety, bookety.
Do sunshine so warm an’ nice, an’ do fresh
ar do Miss Grace good. She mo’ lak herself
den I see her ’tall. She lafa little sometimes,
an’ her cheeks don look so wite, do‘ she never
had no red face lak dem country gals.
In do middle 0' do day we tuck ‘our snack
und’ a big gum tree by'Hoffman’s spring,- an’
erlong in the waise or do day dem sojer gem-
men done forgit all erbout dey “recondor-

De Yankees seam tor think they done run
’pon a hornet’s nes’. Dey swom like bees on

gallopin’ up an" a ridin’ back an’ a confabor- '

I don heah no mo’ bullets a sizzln, so I
crope out, an’ I see a rite fine lookin’ young

Ole Miss Presley Braxton, asniminy piminy

straight, an’ holin her head ‘up in do or oz

Miss Braxton, we did see some rebil sojers.”
Dat strange gommen he lifted off his high

an‘ he say: ,‘-‘Did 'you' notice, miss”--miss,

spon mity dry, “I spose dey gone home.”
She mad at dem sojers cos dey don stay dar
an‘ git kilt like Mais Lance. Evybody don’
want to git dey heads shot off;'I don', for

All dis tima ole Miss Presley Braxton a
squallin’ like a jay bird, “I peel to or ossifor

an’ he say: “Madam, yer shell beputtectod,"

A JUDGE SUGGESTS
l THAT ALL JURIES BE ABOLISHEI:
I SAVE m CRIMINAL TRIALS.
His Idea In Regard to Civil Cases—A
Bench of rum Judges—Evils of ca.
Present System—Expense and Delay of
Business In the Courts.
“What is neccmary for an efficacious re
form of the jury system?” Judge Jamiesor.
was asked.
“There is only one way; abolish it alto
gether. It is absolutely useless for anything
but to increase and multiply the delays and
vcxations of litigation. It is the most ex-
pensive and cumbersome clog in the already
cumbersome machinery of legal jurispru-
dence. Except in criminal casw it is un-
necessary. My idea about civil cases is to
have them tried by a bench of three judges.
The advantage of such an arrangement
would be an enormous saving of expense; it
would expedite the business which the courts
already have to do, and it would cut down
the amount of litigation 40 per cent. Why,
it is notorious among the judges and mem‘
bers of the bar that half the suits brought in
this county ought not to be instituted at all,
and that seven out of every ten that are
brought ought not to be defended. It is not
the people who demand jurors for the trial of
civil cases. It is the~lawyers.”
“Why is that?"
“Because a jury is more susceptible of in-
fluence than a judge. Because a lawyer who
has a poor case will calculate on getting a
disagreement if not a verdict, and with that
as an argument he can force a settlement in
behalf of his client. It is the experience of
every judge that when a lawyer has a poor
case he will not try it before the court, and
that when he has a good case he will. If the
plaintiff or the defendant is a woman a jury
is invariably demanded. She calculated on
the exercise of blaudishmen‘ts which would
be inefilcacious with a judge, but profitable
when applied on a susceptible young juror.
A lawyer thinks of a jury that he can con-
vince at least one man on it and induce him
to come to his way of thinking, and he has
just twelve chances with a jury, where he
would have three with a bench arranged ac-
cording to my way of thinking.
“Another thing about jurors is that nearly
every verdict is a gambling verdict. A jury
is more apt to render a. judgment on the flip
of a penny than by any consideration of the,
merits of a case. I have heard jurors say
that they have reached a verdict by each
man putting down a sum, which is added up
and divided by twelve. Why, the whole
thing is a ridiculous farce. The comical side
of the jury system often impresses me. Take
a complicated case involving bookkeeping
and involved accounts. Its ramifications are
sufficient to puzzle a judge experienced in
trying such cases. that then can be said of
a jury composed of day laborers, who know
no more about bookkeeping than I do of
steam fitting or ship calking? Or take a case
concerning the value or title of real estate,
and there are men on the jury who never
owned land and never know anybody who
. did, and as to the principle of posseflou,
they don’t know the difference between a title
and a horse’s hoof. I presume that nearly
fifty per cent. of the cases appealed are re-
versed because of the error in instructions
to juries. Abolish the jury and you do away
with that. Then look at the frightful amount
of time consumed in getting a jury, not to
mention the expense. First they have to be
summoned. Then they must he called in a.
case. Next they must be examined by the
lawyers one by one. Finally they must con-
sider their verdict. I venture the assertion
that a bench of three judges could try ten
cases while a jury is trying one.
“As a general thing a jury does not arrive
at its verdict from the evidence. The in-‘3
structions are seldom looked at. It comes
into court with a decision which the judges
knowis contraryto the law and the testi-
mony. Then the court must either grant a
new trial, with its attenth delay and ex-
pense, or let it stand because he knows a
second trial would be but a repetition of the
first. So that if the time consumed in fool--
ing with a jury were computed. it would be'
found that seven-tenths of the time required
for the trial was taken up by, jury delays.
Still another pointtobe considered is that
with no jurors- thero would be no cor-_
ruption, and justice would be surer,
speedier and less costly. Jury service
is a hardship to many men. In trying
common law cases I have had to excuse many
mechanics, workiugmen, small shopkeepers
and clerks, to whom or their families two
weeks’ jury service would be almost a mina-
tion. With juries only in the criminal courts,
a man would have to sit on a jury about
once in a lifetime. In this busy city many.
a man has been discharged by his employer
because he had to perform jury service. The
judges can’t stop it. An employer can say
he did not discharge a man for that reason,
but for some other. I have looked at this
matter from every standpoint, and I can see,
only one way out of it. The abolition of ju-‘
ries in civil cases would be of vast benefit to
the taxpaying community and honest liti-
gants, decreasing blackmailing suits and in-
suring better results. I think there is no.
doubt that the litigation could then be dis--
posed of, and disposed of easily, by the
judges we now have on the bench. It would
give them a good quota of work fer every
‘day in the year, but it would not be too,
much.” .
“The plan you suggest could not be adopted,
without an amendment to the constitution,e
could it?" , ' ,1
“I presume not, but there is no obstacle in‘
the way of amending the constitution. The
law has made less progress than any other in-
stitution. The grand jury system is absurd
in this age. The needs which called it into
being new no longer exist. The grand jury.
was created to take from the noble. of Eng-j
land the prerogative of indictment and img
prisonment, and for that purpose nothing:
