Caldwell, Arraigned in Police
Court, Gets Morrison
in Trouble.
Judge Fines Former 1921

When a man giving his name
at the time of his arrest as "Har-
old Morrison" appeared before
Police Recorder Stephens last
night in Police Court, he declared
that his name was not Morrison
at all, but John Caldwell, and
that he was a cement mixer in
the employ of Margate con-
tractor. All of which got the
real Morrison in trouble.
Morrison, it appeared, had loan
ed Caldwell his automobile and
license While driving the car
the latter had been arrested on a
charge of intoxication Facing
the police recorder, he was fined
1921.
Pleas of his wife, who declared
he was her sole support, had al
most persuaded the Recorder tC
reopen the case and reduce the
fine, when he learned that Cald
well had given the wrong name
When the real Morrison was
brought to the court, both tried
to shield the other, and finally
the case was settled with Morri
son fined $50 and costs for violat
ing the motor vehicle law and
loaning Caldwell his license
Some friends present made W
$4S of the fine, and left the cal
for security.
Meanwhile Mrs. Caldwell mus
raise the amount of her husbands
fine today.
