A Cross Section of the
Daily Grind In Judge
Hits Court
Read EN- and Weep
By DONALD McDOUGAL
No Exempt Glasses

HE was driving a ton-and-a-
half truck down New Jersey
avenue, your honor. and at g
street he hit a patrol wagon with
policemen in it"
Poor judgement. boy. poor
judgment.
Its the first time I ever had
a collision"
poor judgment again. It's
nothing unusual for a. very
mediocre driver to run out in a
tinkling Ford roadster and try to
bluff a fire-engine out Of the
right-of-way, but a collision with
a police patrol is the most I'M
usual traffic event there is. It
happens with about the same
frequency as a cold straight
flush"
Witness: "He's been working in
my shop more than five years,
your honor. and I've found him
honest, sober and dependable"
The court: 1.-THE regula lions
about making your identity known
after a collision is like the gentle
dew from heaven-it falleth on
the Just and the unjust alike"
Counsel: Its the rain that
falleth on the just and the unjust
alike, your honor - ask the
court to recall that It's the quail
ity Of mercy that droppeth from
heaven"
mot in traffic cases. What
droppeth on the defendant in this
case is more like a ton Of brick
from the other direction"
His wife is in the hospital,
your honor, with a child only
six days old"
I'm 80 cases out of every 100
brought into Police Court it's
the women and children who
suffer. But the law must be en-
forced, or there'd be still more
women and children suffering.
Last year there were II people
killed in traffic. Fifty dollars or
80 days"
The bailiff: Got $50?"
Defendant: 81 haven't got so
cents
, step into the dock"
Boss (whispering): Never mind.
John-don't worry. I'll pay It,"

KRESGE FIGHTS
DIVORCE

DETROIT, Oct. 11.-Sebastian s.
Kresge, millionaire merchant, will
fight the attempt of his wife, Doris
Mercer kresge. to remove his d.
vorce action to New York, his at
torney, Paul w. VOORHEES, declared
today.
Kresge is being sought by a mes
senger bearing certified copies of a
New York Supreme Court order re-
straining him from prosecuting his
divorce action in Michigan. He is
out of town on business.
Mrs. Kresge contends her husband
is not a legal resident Of Michigan
and that Michigan courts have no
jurisdiction in his action.
The suit filed by Kresge against
his second wife charges her with
abandonment, which is sufficient
grounds for a divorce in Michigan,
but not in New York.
The suit follows settlement out Of
court of Mrs. Kresge suit for 1880
shares of Kresge Company stock.
