A Good Collector.
Little Rock, July 10.—Shelby
Morton, tall, lanky, so black
that charcoal would make a
white mark on his face, is a con
vict no longer. However, should
he resume hi.« position as mar
shal of the town of Edmondson,
Crittendon county, Morton is un
der solemn promise not to col
lect any more city license fees by
| throwing the delinquent down in
j the streets and extracting from
j the victim’s pockets the sum due
i the municipality. It was this
I simple but effective method of
collecting that caused the ex
marshal to be sent to the peni
[ tentiary for three years for
1 robbery.
j * ,
Now, Governor Futrell believes :
that public officials should at all
times be zealous in the perform- j
ante of their duty. At the same
time, in issueing the pardon the
governor expresed a conviction
: that Morton had been a trifle
j overzealous in the matter of the !
i collection. While he could not j
! endorse Morton’s methods, the
governor did not believe the ne
gro should go to the penitenti
ary for his overdevotion to duty.
According to the best infor
mation obtainable, Morton’s un
doing was brought about some- i
what as follows:
..*« . Jt-i
A negro physician of pompous
mein and imposing appearance
had established a drug store atj;
Edmondson. He refused to pay |
the license fee exacted by the
municipal ordinance and was ar
rested by Morton as marshal.
Morton felt that a grave respon
sibility was resting upon his
shoulders. Here was a man who 1
not only had refused to comply
with the village ordinance, but
who had defied the majesty of
i the law, represented by Shelby
J Morton, town marshal. Such a
state of affairs was not to be tol- j
erated—not while Shelby Mor-1
j ton was on the job as marshal— i
! which was all the time.
I
So Marshal Morton polished
up his silver star and went in
search of the reckless doctor
who dared defy the law. He
found the doctor, imposing and
unsuspecting, parading the
street before an audience of ad
niring Senegambians.
“Niggah,” quoth the marshal,
aandying no words, “whah yo’
ieep yo’ money at ?”
The doctor haughtily declined
/) furnish this important in
formation.
Whereupon the majesty of the
aw made itself manifest. There
was a rough-and-tumble affair
and the collection of the license
fee was not accomplished with
out some discomfort to the col
lector. But it was collected. On
that point there was never any
dispute. .
Marshal Morten secured pos
session of the doctor’s roll,
counted off the amount of the li
cense fee. the hne for delinquen
cy and the costs. Then he hand
ed the change back to the out
raged, perspiring and mud*
spattered physician-pharma*
The latter lost no time in ^
ing the zealous marshal’s arre"
Although Morton deposited t'ni
amount he had collected in court,
he was indicted, convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary
