Jose Avlla Couldn't 3xpresD HIS
Feelings Any Other Way
Jose Avila has the reputation Of being q
bad Mexican. Several years ago he was
tried for murder. but went free. Yester-
day he got drunk. presumably on liquor
obtained somewhere outside Of Los An
geles. since the city saloons are closed
on Sundays. Jose felt happy. hilariouefy
happy. and the only way that he could
express his exuberant feelings was by
making noise. He yelled, but that
wasn't satisfactory. 1t wouldn't wake
everybody UP more than two blocks
away. Then he drew his revolver. a 45-
caliber Colts. and turned 1t loose in the
air Just for the sake of the noise. The
result was proving entirely satisfactory
when Sergeant Morton Of the POLICE force
put stop to the fun by placing Jose un-
der arrest. At the station he was booked
on charge Of carrying a concealed
weapon and placed where he will have an
opportunity to sober up.
