to his farming duties, he is a car

A Brutal Officer.
Recently a South Carolina judge
was on his way to a certain county
where next morning be was to pre
side at the fall term of criminal
coUrt.. ' While dining in a Columbia
cafeteria he saw a prisoner in the
custody of an officer. The prisoner
was a younfc: man of rather attractive
personality. The officer, a man of
rather course and brutal appearance,
was somewhat intoxicated. The
young man was handcuffed and was
attempting wrth~~apparent difficulty
to eat a piece of pie. Spread before
the officer was an elaborate dinner.
The heart of the judge?ra christian
gentleman of refined and tender sen
sibilities?was touched. He ap
proached the pair without Vnaking
himself known and politely enquired
if he would be permitted to pay for
a dinner for the young man. The
offer was refused. The presence of
the handcuffs which had not been re
moved to allow the prisoner to eat
his slice of pie led the judge to the
-conclusion that the young fellow had
committed some heinous crime. In
reply to questions the young man said
he was charged with having given a
check for a small amount .wben he
had no funds in the bank. Names
were not given and the destination of
officer and prisoner was not learned.
The incident lingered in the judge'*
mind. Next day when he opened
cOurt in a. town 126 miles from Col
umbia he took the incident as his text
$n his charge .to the grand jury. It
was a remarkable. charge .and caused
widespread cpmjrh;ent. The judge told
the grantf^Jurfers that the law pre
sumed a man wag. innocent till he
was proved "guilty; that although a
man might be convicted of crime and
had put on felon's stripes that offi
cers must not lose sight of the fact
that he was a human being and must
he treated as such."' He said the law
must respect people or people would
not respect the law. The charge
created a profound impression. It
was widely discussed and reached be
yond the borders of the county in
which it was delivered.
It so happened that the destination
of the officer and his young prisoner
was the capjtal of the next county.
The sheriff of the adjoining county
heard' of the judge's remarkable
charge, made some investigations and
found that his own man was the
guilty officer. * The man was dis
charged.
The judge is a modest man ahd,
that is why his name is not printed.?
