Littleton, counsel for Porter, moved for
a dismissal of the Indictments on the
ground that when the policemen com
plied with Porter's alleged demand they
made themselves his accomplices.
Judge Rosalsky sustained Mr. Little
ton's contention. In ruling Judge Ro
salsky said it is essential to an orderly
administration of Justice that no dis
cretion be vested In a police officer to
flout a duty enjoined on him by law
where there Is proof the criminal law
has been violated. Policemen cannot ex
cuse their grant of Immunity to law
breakers to a fear of oppression by a
to have Been them. They rose right
up on their tails and danced around
the ship three times and headed back
for Antilla for more stimulation. I toll
you that's powerful stuff, that Antilla
rum."
The seventh mate declared that the
voyagers were mistaken. There was
really only one sea serpent, of the air
plane species, which amused Itself leap
ing over the ship. The seventh mate
admitted that he also had sampled
some of the Antilla rum, hospitably
offered by one of the passengers.
Hapt. Andrew Osborn. who Is a total
abstainer, would not be responsible
for stories from the smoking room,
where there Is often other vapor than
mere tobacco smoke. Some passengers
had reported seeing a sea serpent off
the ship's bow, and for a moment even
a rumless mariner might have been
fooled. Glasses directed toward the ob
ject showed that it was about thirty
feet long, with a body like a sea snake
and a head as big as a barrel, which
is the regulation sea serpent head de
scribed Immemorially.
