After the trial was over Walter was waited upon by an official, who tendered him the reward of one thousand dollars offered for the capture of Dick Ranney. "Mr. Manning has waived his claim in your favor," explained the official, "and therefore there is no question that to you belongs the reward."
Ranney presented the certificates and applications for the admission of Case, Ransom, and Bart on the first day, and they were, as usual, referred to a Committee of the whole bar, for examination and report. The Committee met that evening in the Court room, the Supreme Judges, Wood and Lane, being present.
People said, "Keep your eye on Ranney; he's up against it; now he will start to drink and go down and out." I'm going to tell you how God came and helped me in my hour of need. It was the day of the funeral, the 17th of March, 1902. The people who were helping had gone home to get ready to attend the service, and my boy and I were left all alone with the dead. We were feeling pretty bad.
"Ah, my friend," said the professor, "this may be fortunate for you, if it leads you to consider and reflect upon the errors of your life." "Oh, stow that!" exclaimed Ranney, in disgust. "I'm not that kind of a man. I follow my own course and take the consequences." The professor shook his head sadly and went out.
There were a lot of big-guns on the platform. No one saw me that knew me. Ranney was asking for those testimonies that would help the other fellow. I got on my feet and faced him. He turned pale. He thought I was going to set him out then and there. He looked me straight in the eye and began to come slowly toward me, and when I had finished we had one another by the hand.
"It seems I walked into a trap," he said. "If you don't mind telling me, were you expecting me?" "Yes," answered Walter. "Did the boy betray me?" he asked quickly. "No; the boy suspected nothing wrong, but his questions excited suspicion." "Dick Ranney," said the outlaw, apostrophizing himself, "you're a fool! I should like to kick you!" "I think you were imprudent, Mr. Ranney," said Manning,
"I am glad of that, under the circumstances." "So am I. I should like to recover the money the fellow robbed me of. I should like to know his name." "I can tell you that. I was examining the revolver this afternoon, when I saw a name engraved upon it in very small letters." "What name?" "R. Ranney." "Then," said Manning, in excitement, "he is the famous Dick Ranney, formerly with Jesse James."
As to the money the fellow robbed me of, I shall try to recover that, though the loss won't in the least embarrass me." "How do you think Ranney will try to get into the room?" "Through the window. The casements are loose, and nothing could be easier." Walter went to the window and found that there was no way of fastening it. "I think we could fasten it with a knife."
Stone performed ovariotomy on a girl of fifteen, removing a tumor weighing 81 1/2 pounds. Ranney speaks of the successful removal of a unilocular tumor weighing 95 pounds; and Wall tells of a death after removal of an ovarian tumor of the same weight. Rodenstein portrays the appearance of a patient of forty-five after death from an enormous glandular ovarian cystoma.
It is not long ago that one of the most worthy of Boston's Judges remarked to the writer: "You can count the really excellent advocates at the Suffolk Bar upon the fingers of both hands." He began by naming the subject of this sketch, following with the names of Honorable A.A. Ranney, Honorable William G. Russell, Honorable Robert M. Morse, Jr., and others.
