A Novel Speed Excuse

Hailed before the judge of the traffic
court and asked what he had to say
against the charge made by the officer
that he was exceeding the speed limit
exceedingly, the arrested one offered as
his excuse that he was chasing a
funeral" says writer in the current
issue of American Motorist. Even in
New York, where excuses are many and
original, this was the limit, and the
judge so intimated. The prisoner ex-
planned he was an undertaken and that
the funeral cortege had left the church
before he noticed that the pallbearers
had been forgotten, whereupon he
grabbed bearers and set out to overtake
the funeral before 1t reached the GEM
etery. The Judge admitted the novelty
of the explanation, and in recognition
thereof he said the fine would be only
s25, whereas had the accused trotted
out of the good, old-time excuses he
would have fined him all of $25.
