it, but he did not want to hung.
On learning his frieiyi Tp.m was
on the jury he went to hint and
said:
"Now, Tom, I know I ought
to be convicted of iirst-degree
murder but I’ll give you $500 if
you can get me a verdict of man
slaughter."
The day of the trial Pat was
very nervous and increasingly so
aa the jury deliberated hour after
hour. Finally they marched in,
and the foreman said: "We find
him guilty of manslaughter.”
■Pat was so thankul he immed
iately handed his friend a check
not for $500 bnt for $1,000.
'‘That’s all right,” replied Tom,
"although I will admit it was one
tough Job. There were the other
eleven of them all for acqultal,
but believe me. I just held out fpr
manslaughter like you said.”
