Prosecutor Deaf-ied
LOS ANGELES, April 20. <C.E)—Mike Solan eased his aged frame
into the witness chair and cupped a hand behind one deaf ear. It
wa» 4he hearing of one James Watson, 49, accused of burglary,
“And now,” shouted Prosecutor John Loucks, “on the night of
April 9 when you returned to your room, were a blanket and an oil
stove stolen?”
“Sure, my name is Solan,’’ snapped the witness. "I told you that
once.”
Loucks began again, , , , •
“What I’m getting at,” he shouted in the old man’s ear, “is
this: Before Watson took them, were these things in your posses-
sion?’^ ^
“Depression or no depression,'he'Kad no right to (toll them;"
Solan said peevishly.
Loucks Wrote on a paper the question: “Is this your blanket?”
But Solan.....had forgotten his spectacles. He stared at the paper,
and then jumped up, thoroughly aroused.
rt. "No, I'm not guilty,” he shouted. “That’s the thief over there.”
Watson was bound over for superior court trial without further
testimony by the complaining witness. /
