Counsel: "It had not occurred to us that it was necessary, but now that a point is being made of it, I will ask that it be introduced as evidence." The State, passing the certificate to the court reporter for his identification mark: "You have never been divorced from the defendant, have you, Mrs. Smilk?" Mrs. Smilk: "Of course not."
Telephone: "What's that?" Smilk: "I say, I've got him covered. Hurry up or he'll blow my head off " Telephone: "Say, what IS this? Get back to bed, you. You're drunk." Smilk: "I'm as sober as you are. Can't you get me straight? I tell you I beat his head off. He's down and out, but " Telephone: "All right. We'll have someone there in a few minutes. Did you say Yullup?" Smilk: "No.
Smilk, "there are a few that don't get back. That's because, in their anxiety to make good, they get killed by some inexperienced policeman who catches 'em comin' out of somebody's window or " "By the way, Cassius, let me interrupt you. Will you have a cigar? Nice, pleasant way to pass an hour or two beg pardon?" "I was only sayin', if you don't mind I'll take one of these cigarettes.
But the two wives settled it. Smilk was a rascal. He ought to be hung. "But," argued No. 9, "how the devil do we know that them women ARE his wives. Their evidence ain't supported, is it?" "Didn't they have certificates?" demanded another hotly. "Sure. But that don't prove that he was the man, does it?" "And didn't the prisoner jump up and yell: 'My God, it's all off! You've got me cold!
Yollop jerking the disk first one way and then the other in order to catch the flitting duologue. "His name is Smilk, Cassius Smilk." "Nothing of the sort," said Mrs. Champney sharply. "It's Ernest Wilson, isn't it, Ernest?" "Take off them rings," was the answer she got. "What is this man doing here, Crittenden?" demanded Mrs. Champney, paying no heed to Smilk's command.
Then he said: "Did she say whose children?" "I assumed them to be yours, Cassius." Smilk grinned. "Well, I guess she's adopted a couple since the last time I saw her, which was five years ago last Spring. I been married twice since then. So she wants you to go easy on me, eh?"
He announced, in arguing an objection made by the State, that it was his intention to prove by the man's wife that Smilk was a good husband and was willing to work his fingers off for his family, but that he had been ill and unable to find steady employment. Mrs. Champney testified at the afternoon session. She made a most unfavorable impression on the jury.
"But I want to tell you one thing, Crittenden Yollop. If you attempt to gag and bind me, I'll bite and scratch, even if you are my own brother." Mr. Yollop pondered. "I think, Cassius, if you don't mind, I'd rather you'd hit me a good sound wollop on the jaw." "I'll tell you what I'll do," modified Mr. Smilk. "I'll lock you in that closet over there, Mr.
"Rap over the what?" inquired Mrs. Champney, squinting. "The bean," said Mr. Smilk, with emphasis. "I can't imagine what has come over you, Ernest. You were such a nice, quiet, model prisoner, one of the most promising I ever had anything to do with. The authorities assured me that you do you mean to tell me that you entered this apartment for the purpose of robbing it? Don't answer!
"Are you goin' to take them rings off peaceably?" muttered Smilk, a hunted look leaping into his eyes. "I am not," said she. "Speak a little louder, both of you," complained Mr. Yollop. "This contraption of mine doesn't seem to catch what you are saying." "Jiggle it," said Smilk brightly. "How long ago did you telephone for the police, Crittenden?" "How long ago was it, Cassius?"
