Your
honor
,
"
the
assistant
district
attorney
explained
,
promptly
,
"
this
man
was
before
a
lower
court
and
refused
,
because
he
was
drunk
,
or
something
,
to
plead
guilty
.
The
lower
court
,
because
the
complainant
would
not
forego
the
charge
,
was
compelled
to
bind
him
over
to
this
court
for
trial
.
Since
then
he
has
changed
his
mind
and
has
admitted
his
guilt
to
the
district
attorney
.
He
would
not
be
brought
before
you
except
we
have
no
alternative
.
He
has
to
be
brought
here
now
in
order
to
clear
the
calendar
.

Judge
Payderson
stared
quizzically
at
the
negro
,
who
,
obviously
not
very
much
disturbed
by
this
examination
,
was
leaning
comfortably
on
the
gate
or
bar
before
which
the
average
criminal
stood
erect
and
terrified
.
He
had
been
before
police-court
magistrates
before
on
one
charge
and
another
--
drunkenness
,
disorderly
conduct
,
and
the
like
--
but
his
whole
attitude
was
one
of
shambling
,
lackadaisical
,
amusing
innocence
.
"
Well
,
Ackerman
,
"
inquired
his
honor
,
severely
,
"

did
you

Watchman

"
--
he
waved
his
hand
oratorically
toward
the
witness-chair
,
where
,
in
case
the
judge
might
wish
to
ask
him
some
questions
,
the
complainant
had
taken
his
stand
--
"

I
live

accused
