The Saloon Lawyer — C.J. Petit

Morgan was meeting with an important client in his well-appointed law office in San Antonio when his clerk tapped on the door and entered without waiting for a reply.Morgan didn't mind as he expected Jim Cooper had a good reason for the interruption. Jim simply handed him a telegram then left the bigger office.After he closed the door, Morgan ignored his client and opened the envelope. The message was from the Kerr County sheriff.Sheriff J.R. Brown reported that Morgan's older brother had been killed by one of the working girls in his saloon. Despite many witnesses to the shooting, the sheriff had yet to apprehend her.Morgan excused himself, then left the client to tell his clerk that he'd be going to Kerrville in the morning. When he arrived, he'd give them a lesson on the true meaning of justice.
