He suggested measurement of

Magician Gets
Fine Suspended
With His Tricks

Doing ghost walk" out of Traffic
Court probably would have been a
snap for Fetague Sanders, colored
mas gician.
AS it turned out, however, he just
grlnned, spoke the right words and
waved his wand after pleading guilty
yesterday to speeding SIS miles an
shour
Maybe Fetague's grin was his potent
magic, for Judge Hobart Newman not
only suspended a $40 speeding fine
and took his personal bond on a
charge OF driving without a permit,
but remained after court adjourned to
watch Fetague do his stuff.
Judge Newman. amused by the de-
fendant's bag of tricks, took into con-
sideration the fact Fetague was driv-
ing a car with Georgia tags, and
that Georgia does not require opera
tors permits.
Fetague, a former student at Fisk
University, Nashville. Tenn, told the
judge and court attendants he had
been "fooling around" with magic
since boyhood. He admitted his
ghost walk act was pretty good-too
good, in fact, for some colored audi
ences.
In Montezuma, Ga, Fetague said.
the audience started walking before
the ghost did. The magician gave
an impromptu exhibition before he
disappeared from Traffic Court like
a puff OF smoke.
