the court, where he told MlaKis'Eale DdkeI
how he-had been thlunped. The Magistrate

laying his and on Rosey's shoulder;
WHAT You arrest me?' exclaimed Roeey,
shaking of the hand. Never! VIII

3 misdsmeanor; you didn't see it. and II
you want TO arrest me you will have to
get a warrant"
SIv erstein started to drag Rosey across
The street, but RnSey knew he had the law
on his side 80 he fou ght the cop on Then
he brushed his clothes with his hand,
straiRhtened his collar, set his hat on
straight and marched across TO the court,
Ignoring the existence OF the cop.

for disorderly conduct 10 be drawna against
the president. While this was being done
the Bar Association gathered in a body
about Rosey, each Clamor1ng 70 De allowed

crowded the bridge az associate counsel.

Certainly" replied the Magistrate.
Roeey's fighting blood sent his. stock

Market, and never arrested before he
muttered gloomily after his case was put
