Stories of Judge Sheffield.
From Tuesday’s Constitution.
Dr. W. H. Alexander, of Blakely,
Early county, who is in the city to at
tend the meeting of doctors frori all
over the State, tells an interesting sto
ry of an incident which recently oc
curred in the Superior court of Early
r county, which is ably presided over by
H. C. Sheffield.
“Judge Sheffield has some interest
ing ideas about matters which come
before him,” Dr. Alexander said, “and
f sometimes there is r\o telling just
ivhat he is going to do. The other day
a negro, George Bush, was convicted
in his court of assault with int.eut to
murder. The crime was rather an ag
gravated one. and it was the general
belief that the court intended to give
him a sentence of at lea c t ten years.
In fact, it was stated afterwards that
the judge had a ten-year s-ntenc- in
view. When called on as to whether
he had anything to say regarding the
sentence about to be passed on him.
Bush arose and remarked:
“ ‘Jedge, I had er dream las’ night,
an’ I dremt yer gin me seben year?.’
“The judge was somewhat amused,
thought a moment, and said :
“ ‘Well, George, this is one time
[am going to let a dream come true,
you will go to the penitentiary for
seven years.’
“And sentence to that effect was
promptly pronounced by the court
“Another time,” continued Dr. Alex
ander, “an old negro woman was on
trial before Judge Sheffield for mur
der. The negro witnesses had made
out a clear case against her, and she
was convicted. Just before sentence
was pronounced Judge Sheffield learn
ed of a queer state of facts regarding
the proceeding. The negro woman,
who was supposed to have been killed,
had a health policy in one of the ne
gro insurance companies, located in
Augusta, and the company refused to
pay the $125 insurance on the ground
that the woman caused her own death.
Those interested were promised, how
ever, that the money would be paid if
they would convict of murder the wo
' man who was supposed to have rome-
Jhing to do with her death. Judge
Sheffield promptly granted the woman
a new trial on his own motion and she
finally went free.”
A Daredevil Ride
often ends in a sad accident. To heal
accidental injuries, use Bucklen’s Ar
nica Salve. “A deep wound in my
foot, from an acident,” writes Theo
dore Schuele, of Columbus, Ohio.,
“caused me great pain. Physicians
were helpless, but Bucklen's Arnica
Salve quickly healed it.” Soothes and
heals burns like magic. 25c at Alex
ander’s Central Drug Store.
