VIGIL IN BAR
Unjustly nuspected of being responsible for the disappearance of liquor, two girl assistants at Grosvenor Restaurant, Glasgow, decided to act as detectives. After closing time, they locked themselves in the bar and waited for six hours with the lights out. About 4 a.m. a key was inserted in the lock, and a person entered. The noise of bottles being handled was heard, and after a few minutes one of the girls switched on the lights and caught John McLinden, aged 26, of Cainbu,slang, in the act of nlling a half-bottle of whisky. When McLinden appeared at Glasgow Central Police Court, he admitted having * stolen four half-bottles of whisky and ten cigarettes. He was fined £5, with the option of 20 days' imprisonment.
