Woman Hears Old Case in Train Car and Weeps
While traveling from Green Bay to Chicago in 1870 a tired old woman aboard a Menasha stop recognizes a judge and identifies him as the man who sentenced her son to ten years in prison for robbery. She recounts his decline, her poverty, and the son’s fate as a cautionary tale about gambling and drink, moving the car to tears.
