Chuck Is Slipping
Three Cops Are Needed
for His Latest Arrest
Virgins Pride Wounded,
He Says, So He Stages a
Garry Nation

The trend in America today IS
strictly 'pantywaist," and the de-
tails of Charles Frederick (Chuck)
Virgins latest arrest last night
prove it conclusively.
1t took only three policemen to
take Mr. Virgins to Jail. and they
report this morning with a trace
of smugnesS that it wasn't even a
three-man job.
In court 1t developed that when
Charles is worrying over busl-
ness detail, he doesn't know his
own strength.
1t was alleged by Mrs. Virginia
Doney, co-proprietOr with Tom Do
ney, her husband, of the Midway
Tavern, $50 w. 16th-st, that Charles
entered their place last night and
in burst Of business zeal smashed
the bar mirror, several glasses on
the bar an Inadvertently wounded
a couple of ringside observers.
Just Trying to Collect"
Chuck, who is manager of the
Indiana Sheet Metal Co., 1440 N.
Capitol-av, said he merely wanted
to collect S18 which he said the
DoneyS owed his firm for having re-
paired the roof.
When they refused to pay it, he
said, he went into conference with a
chair and threw it across the bar,
with the entirely unforeseen result
that the bar mirror was broken.
However, Mrs. Doney had a diff
ferent story.
Judge" she said addressing Rus
sell Dean, municipal judge pro tenn,
he come to my place and want beer
on credlt-wantS to set 'em up to
everybody on credit.
No Work, Just Damage
He do $25 worth of damage when
my husband won't give him beer on
credit. He break the mirror. He
break the glasses. He throw a chair
at my husband Tom"
Lawrence Shaw, Chuck's attor-
ney, broke in here.
Isn't it a fact" he asked her,
that he did lot of work for
you?"
NO" she said. HE do a lot of
damage. No work"
Isn't it a fact" Attorney Shaw
asked. Isn't it a fact, that you
owe him $18 for work he did for you
and he was there to collect that
money!"
NO, No. No" she said. Il paid
George for fixing the fan and the
roof. I no pay Chuck"
Chuck Admits He's Collector
This brought her testimony to an
end and through it all Chuck be-
haved with remarkable restraint.
Then he took the stand, and loosed
a torrent of pent-up emotions that
in any pace but Municipal Court
might have been expressed in
further violence.
Chuck explained that where work
is concerned he has a let-GeOrge-
do-it philosophy, true enough, but
when the collecting is done, it is
Chuck who acts for the firm.
Judge" he said, George works
for me. Every time I send George
over there to fix the fans or repair
the roof, they want us to take it out
in beer. I was trying to collect in
money last night"
Attorney Shaw asked him if there
were any bottles thrown last night.
Like Bowling Alley
"Bottles!" he yelped. Bottles!
There's bottles thrown in that place
every night. Why, judge, the place
is like a bowling alley, there's so
many bottles thrown"
Here Mrs. Doney interrupted. in
spite of judge and attorneys.
we paid for that work he did"
she hollered. Il got a receipt for
it from George
you got to get a receipt from
me" Chuck beloved. George just
works for me-"
Judge Dean then said he would
take the case under advisement I'M
til Sept. "a and investigate in the
meantime. Chuck was released on
his own recognizance.
Chuck won't leave this town"
