The late Colonel Lynch was for many years the recognized wit of
the Logan County Bar. His repeated efforts, upon a time, to collect
a judgment against a somewhat slippery debtor, were unavailing;
the claim of the wife of the debtor, to the property attached,
in each instance proving successful. Immeasurably disgusted at
the "unsatisfied" return of the third writ, the Colonel indignantly
exclaimed: "Yes, and I suppose if he should get religion, he would
hold _that, too,_ in his wife's name!"
