that Miss Sullivan grossly insulted

her fingers and then banging him on
the head with an umbrella.
The young woman, who Is short

in court In answer to a summons OBJ

number OF friends with him and the
two factions made the air jump with
the hot remarks they tossed at each
other In the sign manual.
There was no deaf-mute Interpreter
in court when the case was called and
Magistrate Krotel was at loss to

that were snapped at him. Hecker
