Charity

For 50 years Evangelist Frank Clarry preached & practiced the Golden Rule. Often had he read aloud from Corinthians I (Chapter XIII, verse 1): "Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity. . . ." Often his daughter Dorothy heard him. She became an evangelist, too. Last month, aged 75, when crossing a Manhattan street against a red light, Frank Clarry was killed by Negro Motorist Moe Crawford. Moe was charged with homicide, clapped into the Tombs. Dorothy Clarry got the charge dismissed. Said she: "The poor fellow wasn't to blame." She visited his wife and four children, found Mrs. Crawford ailing, all five hungry. For Mrs. Crawford she got a doctor; for the family, food.

Last week Moe Crawford faced the final count against him -- driving a car with defective brakes. Found guilty, he was fined $5. On hand with the $5 was Frank Clarry's daughter. When the magistrate told her that only four hours of the alternative one-day jail sentence remained, she did the next best thing, sent coffee and sandwiches to remorseful Moe Crawford.
