SURPRISE
McKEESPORT. Pa. (AP) A
man and his wife in their late
sixties, admitted to a hospital as
charity patients, will get plenty
of attention while there and
probably a terrific shock In the
form of a bill when they leave.
Attendants said the man, who
collapsed on the street had In
his clothing $120 In rash, bank
books showing $200 In one ac
count and $4,000 In another. Fur
ther investigation disclosed the
woman held real estate valued
at $1,000.
PRISONERS' SONO
HAZARD, Ky. (AP) T h e
prisoners couldn't have sung
much louder, and when they
burst into full-voiced song the
second night In a row. Jailer
Grant Campbell went up to the
second floor to hear better and
maybe to help.
What he saw didn't do much
toward harmonizing relations be
tween Jailer and jailee.
Two of the 16 prisoners, he
said, were taking turns keeping
time with a hacksaw.
And not on the bars of the
song, either.
