He Was Evidently Drunk.

Lawyer—De you think the defendant was drunk? Witness —I do. Lawyer—State your reasons. Rid he stagger ? Witness—No, he didn’t exactly stagger, but he sat with his back to the dashboard and held his suspenders as if he was driving. Lawyer— Bid he have any other symptoms ? Witness —Yes, he had a beer-box full of symptoms in the vehicle, and the wheels of the buggy wabbled.—Newman Independent.
