LEFT NAME OFF BOOKS.
Judge Kyle Friendly to Man of the
Same Name.
When the name of Pete Kyle was called in police court on a charge of disturbing the peace Judge Kyle "sat up and took notice." Pete was a negro, however, and there was no one present to prosecute him.
"Where'd you get that name?" asked the judge.
"Father gave it to me, I suppose," said the prisoner, grinning.
"You may go," replied the court. As Kyle left the room, the judge slowly tore up the information. Then he added:
"What's the use? There's no one here to prosecute him and it is the first Kyle to go on these books. I'll just leave it off. No harm done."
