Legion Mock

msappropriated Funds Used for

Monday evening, following the
regular session of Robert Swift
Post American Legion, the Legion
naires enjoyed a fun festival in the
nature of a mock trial. There being
a woman in the case, the court was
not conducted with the usual de-
corum and composure.
The Jurors in the case Of Miss
West VS.. Mr.. Smith, were selected
according to Hoyle and with dis
patch. They were sent to the box
and placed under a duly appointed
bailiff. Judge Berggreen, Of course,
ordered the court opened, and the
fsan commenced. Attorney Lovix,
representing the plaintiff, Miss
West (W. Hershiser), trained his
gums on DIR. Jaeger, attorney for
the defendant, Art Smith, and the
line these two legal advisers gave
out would put the ablest attorneys
Of the country to shame. Witnesses
for the case were sworn in by
Clerk Daniels, and each promised
not to tell the truth, and anything
but the truth.
Horse and buggy days were for

Quoted in a modern way, although
a horse back ride played an import
