He
said
,
as
far
as
I
can
remember
,
"
replied
Stener
,
"
that
there
were
a
lot
of
political
schemers
who
were
trying
to
frighten
me
,
that
if
I
did
n't
give
him
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
we
would
both
be
ruined
,
and
that
I
might
as
well
be
tried
for
stealing
a
sheep
as
a
lamb
.
"
"
Ha
!
"
yelled
Shannon
.
"
He
said
that
,
did
he
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
;
he
did
,
"
said
Stener
.
"
How
did
he
say
it
,
exactly
?
What
were
his
exact
words
?
"
Shannon
demanded
,
emphatically
,
pointing
a
forceful
forefinger
at
Stener
in
order
to
key
him
up
to
a
clear
memory
of
what
had
transpired
.
"
Well
,
as
near
as
I
can
remember
,
he
said
just
that
,
"
replied
Stener
,
vaguely
.
"
You
might
as
well
be
tried
for
stealing
a
sheep
as
a
lamb
.
"
"
Exactly
!
"
exclaimed
Shannon
,
whirling
around
past
the
jury
to
look
at
Cowperwood
.
"
I
thought
so
.
"
"
Pure
pyrotechnics
,
your
honor
,
"
said
Steger
,
rising
to
his
feet
on
the
instant
.
"
All
intended
to
prejudice
the
minds
of
the
jury
.
Acting
.
I
wish
you
would
caution
the
counsel
for
the
prosecution
to
confine
himself
to
the
evidence
in
hand
,
and
not
act
for
the
benefit
of
his
case
.
"
The
spectators
smiled
;
and
Judge
Payderson
,
noting
it
,
frowned
severely
.
"
Do
you
make
that
as
an
objection
,
Mr.
Steger
?
"
he
asked
.
"
I
certainly
do
,
your
honor
,
"
insisted
Steger
,
resourcefully
.
