A cluttered page mixes humor and legal whimsy. Observations include an elevator operator lampooning aphonia in riders, a boastful lawyer’s stance on litigation, witty courtroom moments, and essays on Robert Louis Stevenson style alongside a note that the US lemon harvest totals 3,000,000 boxes.
A Kansas City Times feature recounts a condemned killer Ed Neal who warned Sheriff Boyd of imminent doom before his 1877 hanging. The sheriff later died in an apparent fit, fulfilling the convict’s prophecy. The piece also surveys historical punishment methods like the gantlet and references early 17th century and Scots regimental practices.
