NEW YORK, Jan. 11 A tale of
love Brooklyn-style was un
folded in magistrate's court where
Abe Glintz, 38, a lovesick plumber,
was charged with presenting to his
lady love as tokens of his affection:
A fire engine, a elty ambulance,
an emergency truck from the gac
company, a wagon from an Insane
asylum, a load of lumber COD, a
hearse complete with two under
takers, "and more, lots more."

Esther-didn't show up in court
She stayed demurely at borne at
home and sent her sisters, Beatrice
and Frieda, to sign complaints and

Roland Sala.
According to her sisters, Esther
had dated Abe for about a year ard
a half. He always brought his friend
Schneider along, but she and her

"I am very much in love with
Esther," said Abe with conviction.
"You're a regular caveman, the
atavistic neolithic product of the
primitive type," said Magistrate
Sala.
Is That Nice?
"I think he's the paeoUthlc type",
added Esther's sister Frieda. Abe
looked confused by all the verbiage.
They don't use them words in
Brooklyn, not in front of ladies any
how. "You know," said Judge Sala to
Abe in a conciliatory tone, "when
prehistoric man had to flee to the
cave, into the cave with him went
his dog. Scientists and others indi

"So long as the girl doesn't want
you and her family doesn't want
you, why don't you put your affect

Abe looked puzzled. He indicated
he didn't think much of the idea.
Sala looked puzled too. He held
