So I said I guest the newspaper boys could write crazy enough without no help from the Michigan boot legs and besides the bottle belongs to me as I payed good money for it. So Gleason said âOh I wouldnât think of stealing it off of you but I will take it and pay you for it. You say it cost $15.00 but theyâs only about $11.00 and a half worth of it left so I will settle with you for $11.00 and a half.â Well I didnât want to quarrel with him in the front of a outsider so I didnât say nothing and he took the bottle and started out of the rm. and I said hold on a minute where is my $11.00 and a half? So he said âOh I am going to fine you $11.00 and a half for haveing liquor in your rm. but instead of takeing the fine out of your check I will take whatâs left in the bottle and that makes us even.â So he walked out.
