NEW YORK, Jan. 27-So 49,.
felloW-Well, it seems that bs
wife was driving along ~nopcba,ans
ly when all of a sudden this trno,.
made its gallant appearance AVN
knocked her looping. and She "
certainly 40 years old, to give no,
all the best of it, and eight kids ~.
ready, but they have a doc+or
friend who said wasn't it too had
because now she could never have
another baby on account of tbs
shock. So their lawyer took it i'm
and this day l am speaking aboT'
the truck company settled out of
court, and here this fellow was
with l 1000 all in cash, He never
had 81, 1000 before, and naturally
fellow like that doesn't go around
tearing up money for fun, like
glamour boy, so his wife said he
should take it down to the bank
and open a savings account-like,
you know, you used to do for
rainy day.
So that was how he happened 10
be in the bank this day, and Of
course he wasn't the type to be
hanging around banks all the time,
SO he didn't know anything abou,
their social ways but figured a
bank is where you take your money
for storage when you get some. So
he walked up to the window with
the $1,000 in his hand and Started
to say something when this monkey
in the cage grabbed up his pistol
and said, Get away from here
with that money, you dirty rat, or
l will blow you through"
Astonished
Well, so you can imagine bis as.
constituent, because he didn't know
you are only allowed to put $500
in a savings account every three
months nowadays and how strict
they are about it, SO he started
to give the guy an argu lent IN a
polite way.
''Why," he says, you dirty
monkey! How dast you talk thai
way to a customer, and if you
don't put that gun down | will re-
port you, you louse!'
But the guy in the cage kept
the gun on him and said: Get
away from here with that money,
and one false move out of you and
1 will leave you have it, and no
testing, because it is a strict rule
that you can't deposit more than
$500, and even then you have 10
get a letter from your congressman
and your district leader and at
least two respectable citizens
So one word led to another, and
this guy thought the monkey must
be leaping, because he never heard
of such a thing, and here he IS
with $1,000 and they are treating
him like a bum. So, like | say, ne
starts to give the monkey an argu.
ment, so that dummy loses his head
completely because it seems like
these days the banks are terribly
strict about taking any more mon
ey. because they have to hire
watchmen to guard it at night, and
this runs up their expenses.
Gets Scared
Well, finally, the poor guy shcVeG
the money through the window ana
the dope with the pistol he les
one fly at the ceiling 10 attrac'
the guards attention, n VIII.
that, why, this fellow naturally ge'
scared and starts to u Tor VIC

And of course, the guard over W
the front door he doesn't hear VIVA.
is going on but only sees { 1e1o"
running out of the place WIN d
lot of money in his h nd, so you
can see how his mind worked W.
cause he is an old-timer with oM'
fashioned ideas.
He didn't stop to think mayos
this guy was just trying to pn.
money into the bank and was q.
ting brushed off on account oil w
new rules. He just figured II wa
a stickup, although, the way lnssS
banks act nowadays about 'aNn153
your money for deposit, you Woult
think they would pay guys 10 D"t IN
up a wagon and carry 1t away

! So, anyway, like l say inc go+ +be
outs with his gun, and in al uo
excitement he lets the guy nav
one in the leg, and down ne end md
and the cops come runnlhg ' md
they hop all over him and POUR nv
him like he was a round steaE os
something, until finally he CON-" *
to in the hospital and his WIZ
there and they explain all n,
So now he is suing the panH i.
5000, 900 for getting shot n !ar,s
arrest and confusion and abrasl1 441e
and the bank is willing 10 &c.,
for a crowd Of dough, oee' ~jt5
after all, they are just lousy ,. mtg,
