District Court, S.D. Texas April 17, 1959, Cr. No. 5457 (United States v. Lawler)

ALLRED, District Judge.

One of the burdens of a Judge is to hear and screen with patience repeated pleas and motions, generally without merit, from those whom he has been compelled to sentence to prison. Complaints of some with whom the Judge sometimes has been most indulgent are a bit irritating, even to one who prays for patience.
