BECAUSE WIFE ORDERS BEER.
Excuse of a Kansas City, Kas., Man Who Was
Arrested for Drunkenness.
"My wife orders five cases of beer to the house every week. I wouldn't get drunk and chase her from the house if she had less liquor about."
A. Crohn, 660 Scott avenue, gave this excuse in the Kansas City, Kas., police court yesterday morning, when arraigned for drunkenness and causing a disturbance. The wife was not in the courtroom.
"You go to this man's wife, Mr. Riggs," Judge Sims said to the arresting officer. "Tell her to order less beer if she wishes happiness in the home."
Crohn was fined five dollars.
