HE TICKLED ~
A
“PEEK-A-BOO” GIRL]
Man With a Straw is Fouad Guilty of
Assault and Battery by Penn¬
sylvania Judge,
To introduce a straw through the lu-
terstlces of a peek-a-boo waist and
tickle the shoulder of the owner of the
perforated bit of wearing apparel has
been decided to be an assault and bat¬
tery, punishable as other crimes by
confinement In jail.
it required the testimony of eight
witnesses and the huaband of the peek-
a-boo wearer to convince Magistrate
Kocbersperger of Philadelphia that a
straw could be made the medium of
such a serious offense against the law
of the land. Joseph Bruce was the
man accused. The woman of the peek-
a-boo waist through which he poked
the straw was Mrs. Mary Llnck. Her
husband and the other wltnesees testi¬
fied that while they were on a train
coming In from Weat Cheater a swarm
of mosquitoes made a raid on them.
This gave Bruce, who was sitting in
the seat directly behind Mr. and Mra.
Llnck, his Idea. From somewhere he
produced a straw and applied It to one
of the perforations In the waist. Mrs.
Llnck thought-It was a mosquito and
slapped at It.
Bruce doubled up in silent laughter.
When he recovered he winked at other
passengers and again Inserted the straw
through the peek-a-boo waist Mrs.
Llnck Imagined It to be another mos¬
quito and slapped again. Bruce enjoy¬
ed It until hla victim’s huaband, sud¬
denly turning, caught the practical
Joker, straw In hand. A scene fol¬
lowed.
When the train drew into Broad
street station Llnck had Bruce arrest
ed. After the witnesses had recited
the story Magistrate Koehersperger an¬
nounced that the tickle of the straw
through the peek-a-boo constituted
technical assault and battery and held
Bruce In $600 ball for trial.
