MIMIC AT WORK
WOMAN DENIES USE OF LANGUAGE STORY NOT BELIEVED The unusual defence that the police had heard, not a ■woman, but a man imitating a woman’s voice, was put forward in the Police Court this morning, when Annie Elizabeth Whittaker was charged with using obscene language. Mr. Sullivan pleaded not guilty for defendant, and urged that what the police had really nearer was the voice of a marine from H.M.S. Dunedin, who was mimicking a woman he had once heard charged before the court at Plymouth, England. Counsel gave the name of the marine. Whittaker was fined £1 and costs.
