CAREWORN FATHER is

when a mans been up all night

fever, is he apt to feel good-tem-
pered? l ask you that, your honor.
Thus spoke George Carroll, 45 years
old, of 12S Central avenue, Passaic,
to Judge Herr, in the Second PRECINCT
Police Court today.
Carroll was decorated with beau
tifully colored black eye and he was
charged with having painted two
similar black eyes upon the features
of Russell Brown, of 274 Getty ave-
nue.. Paterson.
According to Carroll he was very
sleepy when he boarded a Paterson
car in Passaic this morning. He was
just dropping off to sleep when, so he
asserted, Brown, the conductor,
pushed a man who was standing in
the aisle against him. Carroll woke
up in a hurry and, it is alleged, as
saulted the conductor. Brown en-
erged from the mixup with both eyes
fblacked. When his car reached
Newark he had Carroll arrested.
Judge Herr decided that the case
would have to be settled in the Pas
sale police court.
