He was due at 10 a. m., to be a witness and he was there--although his case did not come up to bat until 3 p. m. During the interim he hobnobbed with many notables about the court house and although he did not know them and as election is in the offing he found them human and very congenial. Being unacquainted with court cases he was much amused in the case ahead--especially tohen a member of the feminine gender said that her furniture was moved from someplace to a "still" near McHenry. That was all well and good--but when he* male companion--being afraid that he would be left out of the picture-- admitted on the stand that he not only hauled the furniture, but the "still" and the moonshine.
