Judge Crawford Scores Henry Plummer Hard Tells Him He is a Pettifogging Law- yer Using Law to Cheat Somebody. “You @re @ pettifogging attorney, sim- ply using the law to cheat somebody,” de- clared Police Judge Crawford to Henry V. Plummer, 108 South Fourteenth street, who was charged with having obtained $10 from James Wright, 222 North Thirteenth street, by means of false pretenses. Wright stated that he had giver Plummer the money to get a colored woman who had been sentenced thirty days in fail, efther out of jall or out on bond. He had done neither, he said. The mayor was out | of town at the time. Plummer's defense was that he orrma to return the money, but that Wright would not take it. “But dldn’t you know that the ten days were up?" asked the judge. Plummer admitted that that was so, but added that the case was & conspiracy to injure his reputation, “Injufe the reputation of H. V. Plum- mer!" was Judge Crawford's sarcastic re- Joinder. “Don't you know that you have been sometime getting pretty close to the crim- inal law? The trouble s that you don't seem 10 undérstand the obligation that is | upon mén who practice the law. You want to use it simply to cheat somebody. But the protesifon has higher ideals and higher | duties than that.” ' —_— The efficacy of Chamberlain’s Liniment in the relfet of rheumatism is belng demon- strated daily.
