Swain Sans Shoes
Bopped On Noggin
Toronto, Ont., Feb. 1 U.R
Arthur Naylor, a 21-year-old
swain who shed his shoes and
climbed a drainpipe to woo his
girl, had only a bump on his
head today for his efforts.
His girl friend, Florence Gif
ford, ignored his early morning
serenade, Naylor told Judge
Thomas Elmore yesterday, so he
slid back down the drainpipe
Just in time to see one of her
neighbors making off with his
shoes.
Naylor said he chased the
woman, Mrs. Nellie Pawlyshyn,
but ran into her husband, Mike,
instead. He said Pawlshyn hit
him with something that looked
like a hammer. In revenge, he
trailed the couple to their home
and knocked out 16 panes of
glass.
Judge Elmore suggested that
Naylor, charged with assault and
malicious damage, and Pawly
shyn, charged with wounding
Nuylor, settled the whole thing
out of court.
