SENT TO JAIL FOR CRYING
Carpenter "800 Boos" When Court Asks Him If He Was In? toxlcated. South Bend, Ind. Frank Cooper, a carpenter, cried as if his heart would break, in the city court when Judge Farabaugh attempted to ask him some questions. When he had finished his cry the court sent Cooper back to Jail, with orders that he remain there until he can appear without displaying so much emotion. Cooper came into court sniveling like a schoolboy. "Guilty or not guilty of being drunk?" inquired the court "I guess I’m guilty," replied Cooper. "You see—” But lie got no further. The tears were coming thick and fast “Are you married?" thundered the court. "Sure I am," the carpenter replied, "and I got the nicest — boo hoo —-pa and ma—boo hoo —you ever saw."
