Whereupon the Colonel marched out, followed by a mere squad, and, there being no other business, the convention adjourned.
At the following November election Caleb Saylor beat his Republican opponent by more than three hundred majority.
On the first day of January, several days before the Legislature was to convene, he came to Frankfort, desiring to be on hand for all party caucuses. He soon became a familiar figure around the hotel lobby and the corridors of the Capitol.
He made it a point to meet all State officials and every prominent politician, Democrat or Republican, who visited the Capitol. When the lower house was not in session and the Court of Appeals was, he attended its sessions and sat within the space reserved for attorneys. He and Judge Singer, whose judicial ear was attuned to the hum of the gubernatorial bee, became great friends. As a member of the Judiciary Committee he supported a pending bill allowing to each judge of the court a stenographer, and helped through the committee other bills that Judge Singer and the several members of the court favored.
Having procured the necessary certificate of good character, he made application for admission to the bar and was given an examination by Judges Grinder, Singer and Dobson.
Among certain questions propounded by the court and all of which he answered—he always had an answer ready—were the following:
"Mr. Saylor, define the difference between real and personal property."
"If I had a hundred dollars in my pocket, that would be real property; if I had your note for a hundred, that would be personal property."
"When, in a criminal trial, is the defendant declared to have been placed in jeopardy?"
