Queer Tales From The Police Court Misfits
A stark, era-tinged column recounts a string of humorous and raunchy police court cases. Hayden Hughes, known as an infamous bike rider and drinker, explains his last memory after a near beer reunion with an old schoolmate, leading to Monday questioning. The piece also profile George Washington, an elderly drinker who faced a minor fine for public intoxication and a religiously themed drunk scene by Joan Vous. Other vignettes describe Hom Currence nabbed for public drunkenness after staggering with whisky, a drunk streetcar worker, and several disciplined miscreants given jail or stockade time for violations, all styled with late 19th or early 20th century newspaper tone.
