Stony Justice Unmoved by Plea of “God in Heart”
—
NEW YORK.—When a chap Is a “god in heart” and a “star in heaven.” and
"ill admit It in court, the reader may easily realize how he will loathe a j
seven-month call at the Essex county jail in New Jersey. But that in where
Abraham Adler has gone after eoti
TH' 3IRDIE5 W 1 fessing in the criminal branch of the
fW SOilIRRH ^ federal district court the full details
' ^ ' of why he would rather not go to war
NEED NE SO l for the
nonce, or later.
C/\fl'T CO TO Abraham, who was born in Russia, !
jy7\R -HVouiDfl'I and has wasted most of his twenty
FIC/tf/IOTH/fl- llin° years North America, was ar
.._J raigned for refusing to appear for ex
amination under the federal draft act.
In his blotted questionnaire he made
it clear that his only dependents are
birds and squirrels of Central park.
and, although there are a lot of them, this excuse was deemed less than ample, i
He explained that he fed the birds and squirrels and outlined what the menu
was and how often the bird and squirrel food was served, whereupon detectives
with rubber heels began tiptoeing toward the Adler furnished room at 303 West
Seventy-eighth street.
Lpon arriving there they found Mr. Adler with one hand within his lapel
and with one knee slightly extended, defying the world. He stated that he
would not move one elbow, ear or eyelash, and that no power on earth could
move him. The reason for this was that he had been ordained by heaven as a
minister of God; that he was a “god In heart,” and that, by the merest good
fortune, he was a “star in heaven.” This being explained, Mr. Adler was
removed, feet up, to the federal court and arraigned before Judge Julius M.
Mayer.
Government alienists tapped Mr. Adler’s bend and found that far from
being empty it was full of nonsense and that ho was one of the sanest bird and
squirrel chefs ever annoyed by the thought of armed conflict. When arraigned
he explained that the sight of anyone being jabbed, punched or booted makes
him weaker titan usual and that he would go to war if the government would
guarantee him an enemy who would not get too flip on slight acquaintance.
So the detectives picked him up by the feet again and took him over to the
Essex county jail, where, as luck would have it, he will be the only “star of
heaven” on the premises.
