DIDN'T CARE MUCH
How Many Charges Were Filed Against Him in City Court at Columbus
[Columbus Star, March 21]--Charles Bradley of Nashville, Brown County, came
to Columbus Thursday on a pleasure trip, but he finished rather unpleasantly
for he was jailed by Chief Hoffman and Policeman Garrison. On the way to
the jail the officers told the prisoner that they would file two charges
against him to which he replied that he did not care if they filed
seventy-two charges against him as he would rather "be on the inside looking
out than on the outside looking in." He had 30 cents, and on the way to
jail he bought in Indianapolis newspaper when he gave the newsy a nickel and
told him to keep the change.
When Sheriff Burns asked the prisoner his name, he told that officer that he
would have to get it from another source, and when the sheriff asked him his
age, he replied that he was 1 20 years old.
Charges of intoxication and profanity were filed against him in the city
court on each of which he was fined $1 and costs, in default of which he was
committed to jail for 22 days.
