Show Judge Wins Second Round In "Hellcat Mary" Tussle BALTIMORE.

However, one of the arresting of ficers, who admits to 240 pounds, testified that the 90-odd pound defendant de-fendant "threw me and her two sisters sis-ters all over the sidewalk." One of the sisters gave her weight as 222; the other 154. "Then, we had to use an 'iron ; claw to calm her down long enough to get her to the station," the other officer related. Judge Herman M. Moser fished out his pencil, did a little calculating and mumbled: "Hmm, a 616-pound combine." He looked down at the more subdued sub-dued subject before him and said: 1 "Well, you're going to lose round two." He gave her a six months' suspended sus-pended sentence. Cowboy Wedges His 640 Lbs.
