Novel ruling: tongue treated as concealed weapon in Morristown
New Jersey judge Edward L. Cool, famed for blunt rulings, holds that a woman's tongue can be a concealed weapon when directed at a justice of the peace. In a dispute between Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Eva Morse, the justice fined both $10 under a Disorderly Act provision after failed handshakes. The conviction was later overturned on review by County Judge Mills, and the money was refunded.
