Single- handed he could pick an army off with the shootin’ irons he knows how to use so well and without showing the man hunters so much as a hair of his head.

Swaney sat beside his lawyer yester- day afternoon when the jury brought in the verdict finding him gullty of mur- der in the second degree. He looked the twelve men over inquiringly, and when he had finished his examination of thelr faces he said audibly, “Wall, you all hev shore gone and done it." He thought for a moment, and as his attor~ ney arose to address the court, “Jim” gave him @ dig in the side with one of his thumbs and jerked this head back for “th’ ‘tarney" to Msten to him, A min- ute's whispering followed between the two and when it was finighed the law- yer went up to the bench and spoke to the Judge. “What's that?” asked tue Judge, sharply. “If Your Honor please, my client | Wants to know if he can't go home and | spend Christthas with his wife and children,” said the lawyer so all the court-room heard, ‘You see he doesn't know how long he may have to be away from them and he wants to say g0od-by. He gays he'll come back, Judge, and i reckon if he says 80 he will.’’ Sure He'll Come Back. “Yes, Your Honor, that's all right," sad the District-Attorney. ‘He'll come back sure. Won't he, Sheriff? “@hore thing,” said’ the latter. “You say you shore Come back, Jim, if you mo home to Christmas?” “Xen.” anawered Swaney. “Then that’s shore all Sight, Jedge,"" the Sheriff sald. “Swaney, if I let you go home will you promise to be back not later than Munday afternnoon?"’ “Yep,” answered the prisoner, ‘‘T just want to see my missus and the khis ‘fore I go up..

The defonse was that Bill “drawed first’ and “thar warn't no need of him doin’ it.” ‘About six months ago Sheriff Mc- Cormick was too busy to take Bill, who had been convicted of a petty crime, Pittsburg, to serve a term’ in the workhouse, and he tolg him to ga up there alone. “But they won't let me in,’ protested M1, BI “Yed, they will, satd the Sheriff. “You tell ‘em I gent you."
