Sentence by judicial pun briefly brightened a recent session in Bridge Plaza Court in Brooklyn where MagisI irate Charles Solomon presided, states '"The New York Times.” Patrolman (Morris Schulshape brought to the bar John Schubert, 3G years old, musician and maker of violins, who lives at Seventieth Street in Glendale, Queens. The charge was disorderly conduct. Tiie policeman said Schubert had been drinking and wanted to fight. "Schubert, eh?" The magistrate mused aloud. "How did ho conduct himself?" (Sharp accent on "conduct.”) Patrolman Schulshape “caught on" right away. He said: "Defendant worked himself up to a crescendo. Your Honour, but slightly off pitch." "Dissonance, eh?" said the magistrate. “What would bo an appropriate musical term for a harmonious finale for this case?” "Sing Sing, perhaps,” offered Joseph Tvlutulis. Lithuanian interpreter. “High note of suspended sentence." Sehulshape suggested. “1 have it," the magistrate decided. He leaned over, sadly staring at Schubert. "Take my advice. Stick to bars of music, in the future. Keep away 1 from liquor bars." Schubert bowed. < “Much-a obbligato," he said.
