Ice Kinks Await
Yule Tryouts
by Lucky TOTS

For the first time in 80 years
Junior and Sister will be un-
able to try out their new Christ
mas ice-skates at neighborhood
Kinks this Christmas.
The City of Mount Clemens,
which usually has seven Kinks
in good shape for the Christmas
trade" this year was stymied
by unusual pre- Christmas wealth
err which has kept the ground
clear Of frost and therefore un-
suitable for rink purposes.
Gus Klockow - "Uncle Gus"
10 thousands of children who
watch him flood the Kinks each
year - was a sad man when
he revealed the news today. He
attempted the flooding of two
Kinks early this morning but the
heavy snowfall which covered
the ground recently prevented
frost from setting in. The rink
surfaces are soft mud.
However, uncle Gus" hasn't
given up yet.

Murder Case
Nearing End
Temporary insanity
Theory Attacked

A jury Of seven women and
five men, who for more than a
week have been listening to evil
dence in a murder trial involv-
ing a Hamtramck patrolman who
shot his wife, today heard a
state psychiatrist testify that he
did not believe in such a men,
tai state as temporary emotional
insanity.
The witness. Martin Hoffman,
was subpenaed to court by the
People, represented by Chief AS
sistant Prosecutor Fred VanFlet-
crcn.
His statement hit directly at
the heart of the defense con-
tention: that Joseph Kwasniew-
ski, distracted and unbalanced
by years of unfaithfulneSs and
embarrassment on the part Of
his wife. Stella. shot and killed
her not knowing what he was
doing.
Defense counsel have made
no issue of the killing itself, in
fact have admitted the act as
having been done by KwaSniew-
ski, but denied that il was will
full murder. They base their de-
Tense on admittedly vague pre-
ccpts Of the law which declare
a man not responsible for acts
committed when his mind is I'M
balanced.
Whether or not another psy-
chiatrist will be subpenaed by
the defense to rcfute Hoffman's
testimony remained unstatcd by
defense counsel Ivan A. John
ston and Will Cohen today. John
ston commented that the exist
ence of temporary emotional in
sanity is moot question, and no
