would have graduated. It Is said that

PALM READER
LOSES HIS CASE
When C. Vlctbr Henris, palmist, was
arraigned before Recorder Broyles on
Thursday afternoon on the charge of
doing business on Sunday, he raised the
point tkat a city detective had been
sent to him on Sunday to have his palm
read: that, therefore, the city volunta
rily beenme o pnrty-4n the commission
of the offense, and that he could not
be held responsible when the city In
stigated the hffense.
In an effort to sustain his point, the
fortune teller rend an opinion In a sim
ilar rase brought against him some
time ago lir Denver, In which he had
raised the same point, and had won
his case.
Detective Starnes, whose palm was
read by Be aria last Hundav, and who
made the case, asserted, however, that
he visited the palmist of his own voli
tion Judge Broyles then ruled against
