#146 The Malefactor- Anton Chekhov
A poor man stands before the magistrate. He stands accused
of defacing public property. He unscrewed a nut from the train track. He admits
to the deed and says his people use the unscrewed nuts as sinkers for fishing.
What ensues in the hearing is a string of nonsense and
circular arguments. There is a little humor here but not much else.
