plied that he was perfectly able to
drive his own car.
He said Doffermyre and Dyer
went inside the taxi stand and
came out later, with Doffermyre
"in a staggering condition.” The
policeman said looirermyre put his
arm around his neck and leaned
up against him.
The officers said Doffermyre pul
led at the buttons on his Uniform
and he told him not to d it a
galn. He said that when he 111 he
put him under arrest and the two
