Show Argument Over Merits of Bull Fiddle Ends in Battle NEW YORK. Two Brooklyn men wound up a subway-platform argument argu-ment over the musical merits of a bull fiddle with a demonstration of the ineffectiveness of the instrument instru-ment as a weapon. Robert Hawkins, 34, hurled the oversized violin at Francis Taylor, 31 who had been making derogatory deroga-tory remarks about bull fiddles. Hawkins missed Taylor and the fiddle went crashing through the window of a subway tram. Hawkins and Taylor were sen-tenced sen-tenced to three days in jail or a $10 fine for disorderly conduct. |
