HE KISSES GIRL ON POSTER

California Man Makes Ardent Love to Picture of Lass on Bill Board. Oakland- —A monomania for pretty poster girls caused the arrest of Frank Castells by Patrolman Bernard Curran at Sixteenth and Cypress streets. Castells was observed by Curran making ardent love to a bright-eyed young woman pasted on a board. The man stooped and kissed the lithograph on the lips and ais Curran approached kissed it again. Curran grasped Castells by the shoulder. He broke away and began tearing the poster from the board. “What are you doing?" the policeman asked. “Come along with me.” “But let me take her along,” Castells pleaded. “I love her and I want her.” Castells Is said to have appropriated many posters of beautiful women in the past. The billboard companies had been complaining to the police that their advertisements were being torn down and a watch was set for the vandal.
