Prosecutor: Elbert Hubbard, or Ali Baba, Had the Definition

             "Prosecutor: 1) One who abets a crime after it has or has not been committed.  2) An oratorical censor that precedes the coming of the hangman. 3) A pumice-stone that gives to the Statue of Justice a cleanly, Christian look.  4) A nose that can sniff the gallows, long before the wood is cut for it in the forest."

          Taken from the Roycroft Dictionary, Concocted by Ali Baba and the Bunch on Rainy Days
