GENUINE GRATITUDE.
A Judgo's Story of How nn Old-Time
Client Kept His Word.
rrom the St. I5uts Globe-Democrat.
"Bob Ingersoll once said, "Gratitude
is the fullest llower that sheds Its per
fume o'er the garden of the heart,' or
something like that," remarked Judge
ndwin n. McKee, of the First dlstiict
of Missouri to a small gathering of
barristers In a hotel olllco at Macon,
Mo., recently, when he was holding a
special term to try some cases for
Judge Shelton. The law yets tilted their
chairs against the wall and waited for
what was to follow
"I've thought1 of that heveral times
In connection with an Incident of tho
days when I was practicing and look
ing eagerly for clients," Judge McKeo
went on. "The start of the story was
nbout fifteen years ago, and it was In
my homo town, Memphis. A fellow
called on mu one day nnd introduced
himself as one Ensign. I forget' his
first name. He said ho had got Into
trouble over a small matter and want
ed me to help him out. Guess you
boys have had experience with these
'small matter' cases. Well his trivial
affair was that he had been arrested
for stealing a drove of line cattle from
a well-to-do farmer out In the countiy
n ways. He began his narrative by
telling ho had been overhauled by the
sheriff while driving the cattle along
the hlghwny.but he said ho had bought
them from three men, whose names ho
gavo ns Smith, Jones and lirown!
Lord! I nearly fell off tho chnlr. What
Jury on earth would swallow that com
bination? I gently suggested that to
him, but ho declared those were the
Identical names the men had given
him, nnd that he was telling the truth.
Ho said the day the cattle were said
to have been stolen he was In the
northeastern part of the state, but at
the first trial wu were unablo to get
anybody thero to provo tho nllhl. I
think the cape was tiled four times al
together. Thero were several mis
trials, a conviction, nnd then the enso
was reversed. I became pretty badly
worked up over the matter and ne
glected lots of good business to see the
fight through. I had doubts about my
man nt llrst, but ho was always so
candid, hopeful and energetic that I
began to like hhn, and was as anxious
to hoist hi in out of tho hole as he was
to get out. Before going into the last
trial I questioned him closer nbout the
alibi matter, nnd we decided to take a
trip over to tho llttlo town where he
said ho was stopping the day the cat
tle were stolen. The ludy with whom

he ate dinner remembered distinctly of
his being there, but, to save her life,
she could not fix the date. During a
pause In our talk one of tho children,
who was drawing pictures on a slate
over In the corner, looked up languidly
and said:
" 'Maw, didn't you go over to Missus
Hobbses that night?'
"The lady said she did, and casually
remarked that Mrs. Hobbs had been 111
that night, but that didn't help the
date matter any. Hnvlng nothing bet
ter to say, I inquired what had been
the matter with Mrs. Hobbs. She red
dened a bit, and said a brand new llttlo
Hobbs had been ushered Into the world
on that occasion. I grabbed for my
hat, and told her to point out the
Hobbs mansion. In less than three
minutes afterward I was copying from
the old family lllble the entry: 'Geoige
Washington Jefferson Hobbs, born
January , 18SV We had Mrs. Hobbs
and her family Bible on hand, together
with the lady who had fed my client
that day, and the state couldn't beat
the combination.
"After the jury had acquitted En
sign he rushed up to me nnd hugged
me like a long lost bi other. When he
left town some days afterward he
called on mo and at parting said: 'It
you ever want me for anything, Mae,
Just say, "Come," and you won't have
to explain.'
"Ensign went to Nebraska, got Into
business, nnd was soon a prominent
nnd Inilucntlal citizen, He drifted Into
politics and got to be postmaster of his
town. I heard from hint occasionally,
nnd then he dropped out of my mind
untll-rwell, this Is the other end of the
story. Some years later I took n breach
of promise case for a young lndy. Th
defendant hud plenty of money and
friends, but a full Investigation ot the
case showed he had treated tho plain
tiff most cruelly. I felt the circum
stances justified suing for $23,000, and
I filed our petition for that sum. Tho
young lady plaintiff was modest, nnd
of nn extremely retiring disposition. 1
don't believe she would have faced tho
ordeal of a trial If her friends hadn't
felt she had been badly treated and In
sisted on her demanding redress. Wo
got our evidence In In line shape and
made a convincing case, but during the
defendant's testimony they began at
tacking my client's character by Inti
mation. Knowing she had left the
country they sought by Innuendo to
mix her up with Ensign, with whom
she had some sort of a business trans
action at one time. I protested and
kept objecting, but the court overruled
me, and I knew the defense had thrown
a. doubt over the case which was bound
to result In a hung Jury, or a verdict
for the defendant.
"At tho noon recess I telegraphed
Ensign to come on llrst train. There
was no explanation. Then I began to
play for time. I knew the court
wouldn't agree to wait for a witness
from that distance. I led tho witnesses

ground, and whenever the court would
reprove me, It would furnish mo the
coveted opportunity tcnengthen out
the matter by making a long argu
ment. I called witnesses, asked brje'f
lecesses on various pretexts, and did
everything I could to string out tha
hours to accommodate the flying train
I felt sure was bringing my badly
wanted witness. After a couple of days
of this I was getting pretty nearly
worn out. On the morning of the third
day the court agreed to wait until tho
train from the West arrived, for a re
butting witness. I was so anxious that
I went down to the depot, and when
my man failed to show up, I felt like
a general whose re-enforcements had
failed nt a critical, stage of the battle.
When I entered the court room the
Judge was on tho bench and the Jury
In the box. Everybody was impatient
to pioceed. The court sharply asked if
I was ready to announce the close ot
our case. With something like a groan,
1 told him I had one more witness, and
after that would quit. While this wit
ness was on the stand, answering some
unimportant questions, I chanced to
glance toward tho door, nnd thero,
coming down the aisle, with the step
of a soldier, was Ensign! It was all I
could do to keep from shouting. En
sign looked uround as he came for
ward, and his eyes lighted ns lie recog
nized me. I motioned him to the wit
ness box. He was a hard-looking wit
ness. Ilia clothes were covered with
mud, hair mussed up, and ho had at
least a three days' beard on his face,
but to me he was tho finest-looking
man In the court room. I had no
chnnce for a consultation, but I didn't
mind that: I knew the man. Ho an
swered every question promptly and
convincingly and completely refuted
the slanderous Imputations thrown at
my client. He not only denied nny In
timacy with the plaintiff, at tho tlme3
and places suggested, but cited facts
to show the Idea was preposterous. If
he had been coached by an expert all
day, he couldn't have made a better
witness. He was put through a sav
age cross-examination, but nrver lost
his cobl, easy demanor, nnd came out
of It stronger than he went In. Wa
got a verdict for $9,000, nnd Ensign
was the happiest man In the court
room when the verdict wns announced,
"Ilo told mo his train was late nt tho
junction, and he hired a rig to drlvo
the fifty miles overland. They broko
down ten miles down the road, nnd ho
bought n horse from a farmer to com
plete the Journey, Ho would have been
here twelve hours earlier, but he was
out In the country when the message
came, and he missed the train at tho
starting point.
"I have always felt glad the circum
stance camo Into my life," said tho
Judge, In conclusion, "because It has
taught mo thero Is such a thing as
genuine gratitude, and I have observed
It dwells with most force In the breasts
of men who are bright, resourceful. and
successful."
