PRISON FOR LANGUAGE EXPERT
MAN WHO USED A “STRAIGHT LEFT” (From Our Own Correspondent) MORRIXSVILLE, Tuesday. At the Morrinsville Police Court today. "William Clark Burns was sentenced to two months' imprisonment on a charge of using obscene language in Thames Street. Accused, who has a long list of con-' victions, was interrogated by the police as a suspicious character, but instead of using diplomacy in replying he led off with a torrent of lurid language and a straight left. Constable Tleeps countered the left, and got in his blow, which sent Burns to the concrete. He might have taken the count, but he was taken to the lockup instead.
