slapped piece OF sticky hy-strewn
paper over the elder Mrs. Brandon S
mouth.
She did not hesitate to pick out a
piece that would have been less OBJ
jectionable because it had not been on
duty" so long, but chose the first one
she ran across and made good job OF
it by pasting the edges around her
mother-in-law's ears.
At least that was the story told by
the elder Mrs. Brandon when she ap-
pearcd in Police Court yesterday against
her daughter-in-law. Her features still
bore the marks OF the paper and her
face and ears were decorated with fly
wings and glue, She left the evi-
dence', on her face over night to con-
vince the Judge, she said.
The daughtcr-in-law was arrested,
charged with assault and battery, and
when the cider Mrs. Brandon went to
police headquarters to talk the situation
over she was advised by Matron Gre
gorie not to remove the battle scars.
The elder Mrs, Brandon said she was
sitting on the front porch when her
daughtcr-in-la ordered her to depart.
She moved over to the corner, she said,
and then her daughter-in-law kicked
her on the ankle. But Mrs. Brandon
said she refused to move farther and
her daughter-in-law rushed to the
kitchen and picked up the fly paper,
which she pasted over her mouth.
Judge Collins continued the case.
