RED BANDANNA. A JACKKNIFE AND
PLENNIE MINOR PRESERVE ORDER
Plennie Minor,
chief deputy
sheriff, who is
depended upon
to uphold
the majesty
of the law
and dignity
of the court
at the Frank
trial. He does.
He Raps With the Barlow Blade
and Waves the Oriflamed
Kerchief Judiciously.
Plennie Minor, chief deputy sheriff,
ha* a man’s sized Job on his hands
and he handle* it with the aid of a
red bandanna handkerchief and a
pocketknlfe.
More formidable armament has
been Invented, but the orlflammed
kerchief and the barlow blade are all
that Plennie Miner requires to per
form a duty that many would deem
arduous, all of which show* that the
deputy sheriff Is a man of resourct
and ability.
It is hi* Job to keep order In Judge
Roan's courtroom, while Lao Frank Is
being tried as the slayer of Mary
Phagan. It's a real Job, when it is
considered that during each day at
least two thousand persons attend
the trial or try to and each one looks
to Plennie Minor, to see to their per
sonal accommodation.
Everything is Up to Him.
Minor is a public officer, ergo a
public servant, and the public expects
him therefore to attend to all its
wants from a seat beneath an elec
tric fan to a drink of loe water.
In the old days before Democratic
simplicity and grape Juice became
popular in the public mind, Minor
would have been equipped with a
periwig and a mace. These things
were supposed to Impress on every
one the majesty of the law.
A red bandanna can never rank with
a periwig as an emblem of authority.
A pocketknlfe is hardly in the mace's
class.
But Minor keeps the law's su
premacy as firmly fixed as the rock
of Gibraltar, which shows there is
considerably more to him than the
bandanna and the knife.
When he wipes hie rather high
brow with the bandanna, spectators at
the Frank trial turn toward him with
respect. When he raps on a chair leg
with his knife, h»ilLthe courtroom Is
as quiet aa a drum with a hole in it
And if the bandana and the knife
are not performing their duties effi
caciously, Minor has other resources.
If the spectators wish to titter or to
squirm. Minor makes an oration aft
er he has flourished the bandanna and
played the long roll with the knife.
He tells the spectators that a court
room is no place for merry quip, that
laughing is entirely as out of place at
a murder trial as orange blossoms are
at a funeral, and he'll be gosh dinged
—or words to that effect—if he will
have It.
His methods are thorough. They
get results. This is proved by the
fact that he is called on to officiate
at every hearing In which the pyfdic
interest is great.
Unfit To Be Ancestor,

WASHINGTON, July 31.—"No one
