A WISE
JUDGE
By OSCAR COX
When the war between tho states
ended and the coiored man was en
dowed with citizenship a grave re
sponsibility was placed upon him for
which he wasn't prepared. In one of
those regions where tbo negroes were
very numerous aud white men very
few one of the former found himself
in possession of a justice's court
The makeup of this dispensary of
Justice was somewhat crude. A Judge
was found who hud done the cleaning
of the courthouse, u prosecuting attor
ney in one who hnil belonged to a law
yer, but for counsel no one could be
obtained except a few darkles who had
been tried for various offenses and had
by observing lawyers' methods picked
up here and there bits of court routine.
Moses Doggett late the property of
Colonel RedGeld Doggett, was the
judge before whom a negro with no
other name, so far as was known, than
Pete was brought on a charge of hav
ing ill treated his wife, Susan. She as
the principal witness was called to the
stand.
'Tel! the cou't wha' Pete gone done
to you," said the judge.
"Pete ho de mos' good fo" nuttln nig
ger in de state of Alabama. Now he
got free he t'iuk he hain't got nottln'
to do but sit out In do sun an' sleep.
I says to Fete. 'Git up an' go to wo'k.
How yo" spec' dese chll'n gwine to git
anyt'lng to eat ef yo" don't earn not
tln'?' Pete ho say: 'I hain't got no
wo'k. Yo' go on wid do wnshin', an'
I tak" it to do owner an' bring back
de pay.' I Jist pick up a rollln' pin.
an' I split It on he skull."
"Yo" honah," said tho defendant's
counsel, "I thought it was Pete mis
treated Susan, not Susau mistreated
Pete."
"Yo", Tete," said the Judge, "yo" take
de stan' an' tell de co't yo" side ob do
question."
Pete obeyed the order and stood roll
ing his eyes about till admonished to
speak in his defense of the charge
made by his wife.
'Hain't got no wife," he said.
"Hain't got no wife? now dat?"
"Ma wife, Chloe, wha' I married fus'
down In Louisiana, air de only wife 1
got When I was sold an' separated
from her an' de chll'n ma heart was
broke. De nex' year I married oneob
de nigger women belongln' to ma new
marster."
"Yo' didn't get no dlvo'ce from yo'
fus' wife?" asked the defendant's coun
sel.
"I dldu't pet »<> dlvo'cc. I jest mar
ried ng'in. Two yours artcr dat m:i
marster lose n cotton crop au' we was
ull sold out. ma an' ma wife liein' sold
to different marslers. Den I married
anudder wife."
"An" yo' didn't get no divo'ce from
de second wife?" asked Tele's counsel.
"No, sail. 1 didn't get no divo'ce
from do second wife. I dldu't Ueer fo'
no divo'ce from none ob "em. Ma
heart was true to ma fns' wife. Cliloe."
"How tunny wives havq_you got?"
asked the prosecuting attorney, with
a view to condensing this diffuse state
ment
"I don't know. I had de bad luck
to change marsters uilghty often, an'
every time I was sold I married a new
wife."
"Is Susan de las'?"
"Sue, she de las'."
"Yo' honah," said defendant's coun
sel, "I ask to' de dlscba'ge ob de pris
oner on de groun' dat he couldn't mis
treat he wtfe when he hain't married
to de wife he mistreated."
"How many husbands have you
had, Susan?"' asked the Judge.
"I got one In Mobile, anudder In New
Orleans an' anudder eomewha' In Souf
Carolina." , ,
"How do you know they are In those
places?" \
"I don't I married 'cm dar."
The Judge looked up at the boards
which constituted the celling In mute
deliberation, lie was a grave looking
old darky and In his heart aimed to
be just But the problem was bow
to be Just legally. The two In this case
seemed incompatible.
"Do perscctitin' attorney will sum up
an' de counsel fo' de prisoner will sum
up, den de cou't will gib her decision."
"I hain't got nuthln' to say," said the
prosecutor, " 'cent dat Pete won'tyo'k,
an' his wife ail' clill'n am stflrvin'.
De cou't ougbter make him wo'k or go
to jail."
"An1 I uln't got nuthln' to Bay," said
tho prisoner's lawyer, " 'eept dat In da
fus' place Sue an' Pete hain't married,
Pete beln' true to Chloe, somewha' In
de souf. In do secon' place, It wa'n't
Pete dat mistreated Sue, but Sue oiis
treated Pete H'lien sho spilt de rollln'
pin on his head."
The Judge again looked at tho boards
above, rolled his eyes and Anally gave
his decision.
"De new law of marriage among us
niggers since he mancipation procla
mation am different from de ole law.
Under de new law Sue am Pete's wife,
an' he botin' to tak' koer ob her an' de
chillun. De cou't dcrefo' decides dat
Pete got to go to wo'k or go to Jail."
"1 'peal de case." cried Pete's coun
sel.
"To' kin jist go on 'peailn' do case
till kingdom come," said the judge.
"Pete, yo' go to wo'k. Sue, ef he don'
go to wo'k you spilt anudder rollln' pin
on his bead."
"I hain't got no mo' rollln' pins, but
I got some flatlrons."
"De cou't declili's dat flatirons ntn
as legitimate as rollln' pins. Onll de
nex' case."
