She wuz' robbed
“I wuz robbed.” sobbed Lynn Norby, Amazon president, “and I’m here to maintain that there is no future in public speaking!” It all happened while Lynn was addressing the freshman assembly Wednesday noon, welcoming all the neophytes to the campus on behalf of the Amazons.
Her purse, containing her wallet which contained $50, was resting behind stage while its owner was making a public appearance. After the freshmen had been introduced to Norby, she went backstage and looked into her purse. Lo and behold, the wallet had disappeared, without a trace.
This is the tragic part of the
tale. Not only was $50 lost, but aiso all Lynn’s identification, and to top it off the wallet was a gift from a friend. “There just ain’t no justice,” claims Lynn.
Soon afterward the Amazon president, attired in black skirt and sweater, made a call on the policemen at the Jefferson avenue station. With them and another friend, she started a systematic search of the 32nd street school. The reason for blaming the kiddies was because many little boys had been running around the auditorium to the dismay of the janitors.
But the two little boys who had been seen o nthe scene of the crime were absent from school.
