Judge. You can go this time; but don’t get into this fox-hole again. [Exit Hubbs.
Judge. What is the next charge?
Lawyer. Bigamy.
Judge. Bigger than me! How—in bad deeds?
Lawyer (chuckling with laughter). No; bigamy—a man that has married six wives.
Judge (in astonishment). Six wives! Are any of them in Court?
Lawyer. Yes; there are four here.
Judge. So the remaining two have gotten him here to be kept out of the four’s way. I condemn the prisoner to be given up to the custody of the four, and if either is like mine at home, he will have punishment enough. Call the next case.
Officer (calls and shows into pen). Timothy Garpickle.
