But he didn't even look at me.

the boats,
Such as, did they carry goats.
I asked him about the great big
waves,
And under the sea, were there caves.

Would 1 be likely to catch a fish.

Leaving me at my play,
And as the man from me did flee
I'm still wondering about the sea-

Defective HnIts
Court Testimony
To Remove Auto

Testifying at murder trial is not
as important to Detective 1t. Clyde
N. Strange as having his car i'm
pounded. So for that reason, the
policeman yesterday interrupted a
District Court trial and saved IS.
1t. Strange was on the stand In
the second degree murder case in
volving Matte Briggs, 38, colored, who
allegedly shot her husband last June.
He had just told the court how the
man picked up the bullets that
wounded him and drove alone to
Garfield Hospital.
Glancing at the clock in the court
room, 1t Strange asked the permission
Of Justice Bolitha Laws to move his
automobile, parked in front of the
court, to keep from violating the two
hour parking law.
The justice smiled and indulgently
declared a l0-minute recess.
