GOVERNOR'S WIFE FINEDNot much to say about this one; except that reference to Negro Chauffeur kind of chafes, doesn't it?
$7.50 FOR SPEEDING
Maishall, Mo., July 13—Mrs. Henry Caulfield, wife of Governor Caulfield, was forced to pay $7.50 fine for speeding here before she was allowed to continue from Jefferson City to Cariolton.
The ofticer who stopped the Caulfield machine at Halla Bend testified the Caulfield negro chauffeur was driving 58 miles per hour. The speed limit at that point is 20 miles per hour.
