Judge Lynch had fnltrn Into dls
repute at Royal Flush. Turn Miller
bad been accused of the murder of his
partDer. Josh Jones. and notwith^tund
lng his protestations of Innocence and
the tearful pleadings of his wife had
been hanged to (he branch of a tree un
til he was dead. The day nfter the
hanging the murdered man walked Into
Royal Flush covered with wounds and
scratches, to the surprise of all, the
terror of a few who considered him a
ghost and the chagrin of those who
had been actlre In making Mrs. Miller
A widow.
The case against Miller hud been so
i plain that no one but a fool or one
j Interested in defeating Justice couid
! fall to see that he was guilty. He and
i Joues had been working a claim to
j gether upon the mountain side. Fright

In the dead of night. The next mom

Jones on his arrival confirmed Mil
ler's story.* supplementing It with the
Information that once out of the
brute's clutches he had not stopped
running till dawn of day.
A tueetiug of the residents of Royal
Flush was called, aud the matter of
deposing Judge Lyncb and substitut
ing regular court procedure was dis
cussed. The nearest practicable plan
to such substitution In so small n place
was to elect a judge and Invite two
lawyers to settle In the place, the on?

the defense of accused persons A

()osc. Then, nfter taking up a collec
tion for Mrs. Miller and another for a
headstone for her husband, the meet- .
lng adjourned
There were lawless characters In
Royal flush who expressed themselves
much pleased with this proposed ad
vent of the law The reason for their
satisfaction was that when the vigl
lance committee took them in hand
ttiey were pretty sure to get their
deserts. That the committee occasion
ally made n mistake and punished an
innocent citizen did not concern them
As soon as the court was organized
and the lawyers arrived the lawbreak
ers considered all restraint removed
One of the worst of them, Mike Flynn.
having a grudge against a professional
gambler. "Light Fingered Jim," as he
was called, waited a week for the new
order to be established before taking
his revenge, then shot the gambler
down In cold blood In the center of the
town. Ho at once gave himself up for
trial.
There were three witnesses who had .
seen the shooting. Bill Evans was the
first of these who was called upon by
the prosecution. He had stood within j
a hundred yards of the two men and .
had seen the whole affair from start to
finish ITIs story was that Flynn had
approached "Light Fingered ,11m" from
1 behind and shot him In the back.
When the attorney for the defense ,
"took the witness" he held up before
him a thanmatrope, which Is a card
frith a bird sketched on one side and '
a cage on the other By means of two
strings, one on each end of the card, 1
he revolved It rapidly and asked the i
witness what he saw. The answer
was "f? bird In a cage." The lawyer
1 then showed the thanmatrope to the
Jury and said:
"The witness evidently has defective
eyesight. Tils vision Is so bad that he
can't even see that the bird nnd the
cage are on opposite sides of the card."
The nest witness was Abe Wllklns.
"Where were you, Mr. Wllkins, when j
you sow the dbootlfig?" asked counsel
for defense on cross examination.
"Ou tin? fl rvrt"
"What jwrt of tbe street?"
"1 dlsremetnber."
AVum Ii the east end. tbe west end

"It inougbt been tbe emit end and

"Likely tbe emit end?"

"Yes"
"(.Jentlemen of the Jury, how cmiid
the witness hare got a clear view of
the frncna with bis fare to tbe we#t
and the mm shining right In his eyes?"
The third witness was very easily
disponed of. She was a young girl
Ellen Sturdy.
"How old are you?" asked tbe couu
acl for the defense.
"1*11 be eighteen tomorrow."
"Your honur. I objevt to the testi
mony of the fflbim oil the ground
thnt she ta not of age"
The Judge didn't know whether the
objection should he snstmned i?r not.

"(ientlemen of the Jury, I put it to
you." sn Id the lawyer? "Is a girl who
is In love wltb a man who baa been
killed in a fracas a tit wltneaa against
his adversary?"
There being no more witnesses, the
prosecuting attorney made ft fong
sjieech. picturing the enormity of tbe
crime so vividly ?hat when he closed
every man of the Jury arose and shout
ed "(Jullty!"
Put the Judge Informed them tnai
counsel for the defense hnd something
to say nltout the matter before they
were to brine In it verdict. At this
they sat down and cotiusel for the de
fense arose. Ue took the grooud that
there had been an ordinary shooting
match between the two men which
nobody had seen. Then be proceeded
to picture the Innocent young tore for i
the prisoner on the part of Ellen Stur- :
dj?sbe was not present to deny the
impeachment? and the agouy of the
poor girl at seeiug the man she Idol
ized dangling a lifeless corpse. So ef
fective was this part of bis harangue
that several Jurymen were moved to
tears. With his arguments and his
pictures fresh In their minds the Jury
retired for consultation.
After ten hours' seclusion they sent
word to the Judge that they were
ready to give a verdict. Being recall
ed. the foreman asked:
"JuCge. atr we to And a verdlc' ac
cordin' to the facts er accordin' to the
evidence?"
The Judge scratched hta head and
knit his brows. Then he asked the
lawyers for an answer, and they both
declared that the rerdlct must rest on
the evidence.
"Then." sntd the foreman, "we find
that the prisoner was Jlst havln' a lit- j
tie Innocent scrap f*r fnn and acci

Up jumps counsel for the defense.
"Your honor, the verdict being not
guilty. 1 move the discharge of my
client"
'Teller cMrpns.M snld th? Judge, la- j
boring, "tobogganin' from one eowll
tlon to another is dangerons in any
community. Ef a man swlngtn' from
branch to branch lets go ot?e hand he
fore he's got a holt with the other
he's liable to drop. We don't want to
let go of lynch law with both hands
to take a holt on conrt law. Fust ofT.
we better mix 'em. The prisoner hav
In' been tried by court law and found
innocent, we will now proceed to try
him by lynch law and see If we can't
convict him. All In favor of this hold
up their hands."
Every hand went up.
The Jury that had Just acquitted the
prisoner on the ground that be hnfl
oeen engaged In an Innocent scrap and
accidentally killed a man were ap
pointed to hear evidence concerning
the charge of murder Itefore Judge
Lynch. Then the witnesses were re
called, the services of the tnwyers J
were dispensed with, and the Judge
asked the questions.
"BUI Evans, you seen the shootln'T'
"Yes."
"Tell what you seen."
"1 seen Light Fingered Jim' walklrf '
along the street. Tom Flynn come
out of the saloon, follered him and
shot blm In the back."
"That'll do. Abe Wllklns, take the
srnnd. Ton seen the shoot W. How
did It happen T
"That a way what Bill Evans said "
"That'll do. Ellen Sturdy "
Ellen Sturdy confirmed the story [
told by the other two. Then the Jury
without leaving their seats brought In
? verdict. Tire fra-eman said:
"Judge. havln' said the prisoner was
Innocent accordin' to law. we now
say he's guilty accordin' to fac'."
"Mike Flynn," said the Judge. "1
sentence you to be turned oter to the
committee to be hanged."
The trial occupied fire, the hanging
n boot eight, urtnutw.
It was determined by tberltlrens of
Royal Flush thereafter that they
would retain Judge Lynch for awhile,
but be more deliberate. No one
should be convicted without both sides
having been heard and should not be
hanged for murder till the murdered ?
person had had one s?lt after the .
