infallible to succeed in trying a con-
tested case without making a mis-step
somewhere along the way. Shrewd
attorneys conducting the defense were
sure to see to it that the court had
an abundance of opportunities to
commit such error. Indeed the prac-
tice of criminal law seemed to the
average layman to have degenerated
ir.to a kind of shell game with the
presiding Judge guessing at tbe shell.
Now our court has announoeJ the
dcctrine that inadmissible testimony,
if it should get in, must be shown to
have probably influenced the Jury in
reaching a decision adverse to the
defendant. And this doctrine is cor-
rtct. There have been entirely too
many ways for the transgressor io

Speaking of a hot town, what's the
matter with Lawton A customer
purchased a dozen eggs and placing
them in the store temporarily and fin-
ally went away forgetting them. Two
weeks later the merchant heard the
cbeep of a chicken, and finally discov-
eting the sack opened it and found
that three chickens had hatched out.

There is nothing remarkable in this
story except the fact that the chickens
hatched in two weeks. Of course It
