                       MAKES SWING AT POLICE CAPTAIN
                       
                    BUT THE FIGHT IS SOON TAKEN OUT OF
                      GEORG WANN - OCCUPIES CELL NOW
                      
                    GEORGE WANN was arrested Saturday night
                  by Captain RICHARD KERWIN on a charge of
                  being disorderly. A call was sent to pol-
                  ice headquarters that WANN was raising a
                  rough house at his home, 925 Pine Grove
                  avenue. When Captain KERWIN arrived WANN
                  had succeeded in making kindling wood of
                  the dining-room furniture, it is said, 
                  and was trying his skill at marksmanship
                  by hurling plates at the clock to see if
                  he could knock its hands off.
                    WANN, being in his home, was not taken
                  into custody, but when he appeared on the
                  street later in a belligerent attitude he
                  was taken into custody. While Captain KER-
                  WIN was walking along the street with WANN
                  the latter made a viscious swing at KERWIN
                  and struck him a heavy blow on the side of
                  the head.
                    KERWIN was not expecting the attack but
                  the fight was soon taken out of WANN. The
                  prisoner has been under arrest several
                  times before, and it is alleged that he
                  has abused his family on numerous occasions,
                  the police having been called to the home
                  to restore order.
                    When WANN was arraigned in police court
                  this morning he stated that he would take
                  the pledge and reform for a year if given
                  a chance. His wife interceded for him and
                  Judge BLACK released the man with the under-
                  standing that he remain sober for a year
                  and take care of his family.
