States Attorney McNabb W as placed |
in rather an, embarrassing position in
Court on Wednesday, when the case of
Clyde Deviney was called for trial. The
prosecuting witness was one Samuel |
Leon, faultlessly groomed Celestial,
who halls from Havre de Grace. Although |
we'll Americanized in many particulars,
he was unable to speak our language
with sufficient degree of accuracy to
intelligently recite his wrongs so that Il
jury could understand. Sheriff Reasin,
always accommodating, volunteered to
get the Chinaman who conducts laun-
dry in Bel Air, thinking that perhaps he
could play the role of interpreter. John
Number 2, however, was as woefullv de-
fcient as his more cultured brother from
the city OF Havre de Grace. AS it was
impossible to get three words of intelli-
gent English from the pair of them, the
States Attorney was compelled to stct
the case.
