And Judge (later Justice) Charles W. ("Two Gun Charlie") Worrill, who gained his sobriquet by presiding on the Superior Court bench with two loaded .44 Bulldog revolvers, using one for a gavel (hope he had an empty chamber under the hammer). He was a former Texas Ranger and also a former Alabama Industrial League baseball umpire (the latter was the higher-risk job.)

Needless to say, there was some serious order in his court. He also is the judge who told the National Labor Relations Board to violate his order, just a little, and they'd see what authority he had to order them to stay out of Early County.

We shall not see his like again.

Sounds like my kind of judge.
