"If you are going to continue this nonsense all day let me know, and I
will prepare myself to listen, as well as to return the other prisoners
to jail until to-morrow," observed His Honor. "It appears as if you can
never get through your tale. Speak quickly and briefly, and do not keep
me waiting."

"Shust vait a little vile more nor not so musht," replied Mr. Swartz,
and continuing his story he said, "I ask everybody if tey sees dis
voman and dey say dey not sees te voman, and after I ask everybody von
man tell me dat he sees dis voman valk up de shtreet, and I go up de
shtreet von little more vay and--"

"In the name of Heaven cease your remarks," exclaimed the Mayor, who

"Mr. Swartz, if you don't conclude your remarks at once I will be

hearing your remarks, every one of which has been to no purpose. You
say the package of money that you lost was found on this woman, and
that she had been in your store the same day and had leaned against

"Dat's shust it," replied Mr. Swartz. "Ven I go mit te voman to te
