TEAMSTER EXCUSES
HABIT OF SWEARING
Declares Aggravating Horses
Cause Bad Language Which
Becomes Involuntary

Swearing is mere formality with
Peter Cassinelli, teamster, and means
nothing at ali. This was the novel
pies advanced by him yesterday in
Judge Mogan's court as A defense to
the divorce action of Teresa Cassinelli.
~All teamsters swear" testified Cas-
SMELL. They get so aggravated by
the conduct of the horses that they
can't help it. After swearing at the
horses all day I admit that al night |
would swear in my home without
thinking what l was saying. But
was not really swearing at my wife.
I meant nothing by it,
Judge Mogan thought this was not
4 proper case for a divorce to be
granted and talked to the couple for
half an hour in his chambers, as a
result of which there probably will
be a reconciliation.
