OATH TAKEN BESIDE CORPSES
INTOXICATED DRIVERS’ PLEDGE.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
Pittsburgh, October 16,
Eleven men convicted of driving while intoxicated took a pledge, yesterday at the judge’s order beside unclaimed dead in a county morgue. Raising their right hands, they recited: “I will never again drink when about to drive an automobile.”
Judge Musmanno said: “It is lucky that you are not the author of these tragedies. As a drunken driver you could easily have caused one of these deaths.”
