Wapp Family Active and Court Is Kept Busy

CHICAGO. —It was “some day” for the Wapp family the other day. Mother got married again; brother was arraigned in court for assault, and sister, who had come to defend film, tried to scratch the eyes out of a detective and was locked in a cell. The Wapps live at 3253 Pox street, tend, ordinarily, theirs is not a strenuous existence. Somehow every member got busy on this particular day. And the worst of it was that Mother Wapp and her new fiance were united ■“for* better or for worse” and went away without telling Brother Mike and Sister Rose anything about it Close and Mike, however, were mighty busy themselves and probably wouldn’t have had time to extend congratulations. Mike was arraigned before Municipal Judge John Courtney In the West Thirty-fifth street court and then a continuance was decided upon. * Rose was tjiere to appear as a defending witness. On the way out of the court room, she says, she heard a •detective, Thomas C. Healy, instructing witnesses for the prosecution how -they should testify when the case comes up again.

This roused all of Rose’s anger and whefa they reached the street she is said to have started preparing the detective for a physician’s care. Healy waltzed her right back into the building and as he attempted to lock her in a cell, she broke away and ran to the court room. • f - Judge Courtney was listening to evidence in another case when Rose ran into the room. “Judge, your honor, the cops have pinched me, an’ I ain’t guilty and. besides I want a jury trial,’ ’she shouted. “You’ll get It,” observed the judge. "Lock her up ” The judge leaned back and sighed. “Some Wapps,” he said. “Some Wapps.”
