American Nazi Leader Fined
DRUNKENNESS AND PROFANITY United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Saturday, 1.30 a.m. WEBSTER (Mass.), July 20. Fritz Kuhn, leader of the American Nazis, pleaded guilty to charges of drunkenness and profanity and was fined five dollars. He then told the Press he was neither drunk nor profane; the plea of guilty was entered in order to avoid a courtroom “theatrical performance.” On leaving the courtroom Kuhn extended his hand to the police officer, saying, “No hard feelings, I hope?” The officer, who is a former prizefighter, replied: “It’s a good thing I was in uniform ..hen you said what you did or your own mother would not have recognised you.”
