Complainant
Becomes Accused
NEW YORK, (A1)—Fred Boysen
was arrested in a Manhattan court
room on a handbag thett charge
shortly after he withdrew a sum
mons accusing manager Leo Duro
cher of the New York Giants of
simple assault.
The complainant identified her
self as Mary Ryan, Negro register
ed nurse.
Boysen, a Brooklyn baseball
fan who accused Durocher of
knocking him down after a Dodg
er-Giant game April 28, was or
dered to remain in the courtroom
while a complaint was drawn up
against him.
Later, Boysen was taken before
Magistrate Doris O’Byrne. A war
rant officer told the court that
Miss Ryan believed Boysen was
one of two men who assaulted her,
then stole her purse on March 27.
Boysen denied the charge. “I
was never in that vicinity,” he
said.
After Boysen was permitted to
withdraw the summons against
Durocher he apologized before the
bench and both shook hands.
Some people tliink of the de
pression as the good old days when
there was only a shortage of
money.
