Any

other

expenses

that

you

can

think

of

?

"

"

Well

,

there

were

carfares

and

trainfares

.

And

then

I

had

to

share

in

whatever

social

expenses

there

were

.

"

"

Exactly

!

"

cried

Mason

,

with

great

irritation

.

"

I

wish

you

would

quit

leading

this

parrot

here

.

"

I

wish

the

honorable

district

attorney

would

mind

his

own

business

!

"

snorted

Jephson

--

as

much

for

Clyde

's

benefit

as

for

his

own

.

He

wished

to

break

down

his

fear

of

Mason

.

"

I

'm

examining

this

defendant

,

and

as

for

parrots

we

've

seen

quite

a

number

of

them

around

here

in

the

last

few

weeks

,

and

coached

to

the

throat

like

school-boys

.

"

"

That

's

a

malicious

lie

!

"

shouted

Mason

.

"

I

object

and

demand

an

apology

.

"

"

The

apology

is

to

me

and

to

this

defendant

,

if

your

Honor

pleases

,

and

will

be

exacted

quickly

if

your

Honor

will

only

adjourn

this

court

for

a

few

minutes

,

"

and

then

stepping

directly

in

front

of

Mason

,

he

added

:

"

And

I

will

be

able

to

obtain

it

without

any

judicial

aid

.

"

Whereupon

Mason

,

thinking

he

was

about

to

be

attacked

,

squared

off

,

the

while

assistants

and

deputy

sheriffs

,

and

stenographers

and

writers

,

and

the

clerk

of

the

court

himself

,

gathered

round

and

seized

the

two

lawyers

while

Justice

Oberwaltzer

pounded

violently

on

his

desk

with

his

gavel

:

Gentlemen

!

Gentlemen

!

You

are

both

in

contempt

of

court

,

both

of

you

!

You

will

apologize

to

the

court

and

to

each

other

,

or

I

'll

declare

a

mistrial

and

commit

you

both

for

ten

days

and

fine

you

five

hundred

dollars

each

.

"

With

this

he

leaned

down

and

frowned

on

both

.

And

at

once

Jephson

replied

,

most

suavely

and

ingratiatingly

:

"

Under

the

circumstances

,

your

Honor

,

I

apologize

to

you

and

to

the

attorney

for

the

People

and

to

this

jury

.

The

attack

on

this

defendant

,

by

the

district

attorney

,

seemed

too

unfair

and

uncalled

for

--

that

was

all

.

"

"

Never

mind

that

,

"

continued

Oberwaltzer

.

"

Under

the

circumstances

,

your

Honor

,

I

apologize

to

you

and

to

the

counsel

for

the

defense

.
