Both furnished and unfinished

PINT VERSION
Found Here Of
JUDGE CRATER

Ell Centre police officers Monday
night took a fling at capturing the
elusive Judge Crater, New York
jurist who has been missing for
seven years. Their catch was a
disappointment, about half the size
of the jurist. He was booked on a
drunk charge.
The officers answered a frantic
call to a city limits service station
where Crater was supposed to be
taking a siesta. The alleged fugi-
tive was a big disappointment be-
cause he wasn't Crater at all and
was greatly flattered at the sudden
appearance of four officers in his
immediate vicinity.
Frank Pennying, who disappoint-
ed the officers by not being Crater,
weighed 120 pounds and measured
five feet and six inches in height.
Crater is declared to be six feet
tall and to weigh more than 200
pounds.
