A stranger who had dropped into
the Center street police court one al
ternoon last week might have thought,
says the New York Times, that he had
discovered a dramatic representation
of a scene at the Tower of Babel or
school of modern languages where all
the instructors had gone crazy and
were talking at once in all the Ian
guages they knew.
\ small, swarthy, frightened look
ing man was crouching in the witness
chair, staring at all the official and
several unofficial and volunteer inter-
prefers who were jabbering excitedly.
The small man was Mike Costello,
who was arrested the night beroe with
| a party of Italians who were inter-
rupted in the midst of a general fight
in Eldrige street. Each of the Ital-
ians had been placed upon the stand
in turn and through the Italian inter-
prefers questioned as to his part in
the fight. Costello came last and was
addressed by the Interpreter in
Italian.
The witness gave no answer to the
question, but only shook his head and
waved his hand in a puzzled way.
After two or three more questions in
Italian, which elected no reply, the in
terpreter gave the witness up in dis
gust telling the magistrate that he
was not an Italian.
