His
principal
reason
for

was
simply

Loitering
In
front
of
a
Third
Avenue
restaurant
at
a
time
when
the
establishment
was
closing
its
doors
for
the
night,
Sneddon
witnessed
the
spectacle
of
two
soldiers
being
turned
away
when
they
sought
admittance.
This,
he
considered
was
high-handed
conduct
toward
members
of
the
armed
forces
i
and
he
proceeded
to
take
action.
Anyone
who
would
treat
servicemen
In
that
way,
he
loudly
explained
to
the
restaurant
functionary
and
to
the
crowded
street,
was
a
dirty
"so-and-so"
and
a
Fascist
"such-and-such."
The
restaurant
man,
resenting
Sneddon's
tirade,
phoned
the
police,
who
carted
Sneddon
off
to
the
lock-up.
He
appeared
this
morning
in
city
police
court
on
a
charge
of
vagrancy
in
which
was
mentioned
the
word
"Swear
ing."
At
his
hearing
It
became
plain
that
Sneddon's
volubility
had
not
decreased
with
the
arrival
of
sobriety,
although
his
speech
had
been
cleansed
of
Its
profan
ity.
He
explained
to
Magistrate
T.
W.
Brown
at
great
length
how
he
had
left
the
American
service
on
account
of
Injuries
which
made
it
Impossible
for
him
to
do
heavy
work,
and
that
he
was
.this
very
day
on
the
verge
of
going
out
to
a
construction
camp
to
do
the
relatively
light
job
of
bull-cook.
With
the
agreement
of
Sergeant
O.
L.
Hall,
of
the
city
police,
who
prosecuted,
Sneddon
was
let
off
with
the
minimum
punishment,
of
$10
or
seven
days
and,
when
he
said
that
he
had
no
money
to
pay
the
fine,
he
was
allowed
until

from

to
raise
the
money.
