Rogue:—“Doctor, you got me free. I must show my gratitude. Take this watch.”
Counsel:—“No, no; you are a poor devil. Where did you get the watch?”
Rogue:—“Why, it’s the one I stole.”
Unstable Evidence
Detective (looking for evidence at the spot where a murder had been committed):—“The footprint in this anthill is of the utmost importance. It might—most probably it will—lead to the discovery of the murderer. Constable, hurry back to town at once, bring a bag and a shovel, and shovel this highly important footprint into it. We will take it back with us!”
Willing to Show Him
Judge:—“It is utterly incomprehensible to me how you could kill the man with one blow of your bare fist!”
Accused:—“Shall I show you how I did it?”
