Show THE SPEEDING RECORD Two convicts doing a comedy stunt in the Fourth of July show at 'San Quentin were inter-tupted inter-tupted by an automobile horn sounded in the wings. "What's that?' 'asked one. "That's Barney Oldfield breaking the world's record for speeding," answere dthe other. "What's Barney's record?" asked the first convict. "Ninty miles an hour," responded the second. "There's a better record than that," said the first convict. "What is it?" queried the second. "Why the car that took Harry Thaw from Matteawan did ninety-five miles an hour with a loose nut!" Which is not bad for penitentiary humor. But did it originate in San Quentin, or was it brought in by some recent arrival? Town Talk. |
