Show Query Stumps Smoker. When James Murphy of Long Island City was arraigned in the Long Island Is-land City police court on a charge of smoking in a subway station, he was asked by the magistrate to give an explanation. Murphy said: "Judge, I paid my fare, and had just filled my pipe and went down Into In-to the subway, and I had my pipe in my hand, and having no place to put It, I put It in my mouth. It's the first time It has ever happened, judge." "All right, Murphy," answered Judge Doyle, "I will suspend sentence on you this time. But suppose you had an umbrella In your hand?" Murphy grinned, and left the courtroom. |
