    the other mans house.
    When the robbed man came home he went to the guards and told them about the robbing and the man that robbed him.
    The guards went to the other mans house and put him to jail until the court day. A month after the man was tired and it was the young lawyer that was trying him. The two men stood out on the floor and the lawyer said to one of them to begin his talk.
    The man that was robbed said several times that it was the other man that robber him.
    At last the lawyer started making faces and putting out his tongue. Then the robbed man shouted "OR" it was you that robbed me.
    The lawyer told the guards to remove that man from court, that he was not right in the head.
    They did do. The accused man paid the lawyer a large some of money for winning the case for him.
