A policeman was loading in a couple of fellows and just as I came abreast the wagon he jsrabbed my arm and told me that I might Just as well come along and take a ride, too, « Mind you now, I was coming home Some More Letters From Star Readers An Experience in Jail Subject to prior sale STANDARD CORDS High-Grade, First-Class |from a dance and I was as sober as any law-abiding citizen could be, and absolutely minding my own bust Evidently they needed a full wagon to keep up thelr prestige at head, lquarters, so I was the victim, and I ene jadmits, but not so much that he 4 repeat, 1 was neither drunk nor had t had a drink.

I told him that M was a hell of a time to let a fellow telephone, But, nevertheless, I took the opportunity and telephoned. Yesterday, Monday, I appeared in court to find out just why I was arrested and of all the wild stories any man ever had to tell on an other that policeman sure had them. One would have thought from the way he told the story that he, him- self, had had too stiff an eyeopener for his that morning. He told the judge that he found me getting off 4 car on First ave. when he had in reality picked me up at Third and Seneca. And he said they found a bottle of grapo on mt.
