Anyway, a drunken tramp appears as the first criminal in the town. He proves himself an epicure of the cookstove and a handy prisoner around the jail. Naturally, the constable is loath to let him go. The farce relates how President Purity stepped in and settled the case. She broke up the constable's little game when he would sentence the prisoner for life.
