Chipman, charged with vagrancy, Friday was ordered to shave by Judge H. B. Abernethy unless he wanted to remain in jail. Chipman was released Saturday morning after he had reconsidered and cut his whiskers, which he said took eight years to grow. Sans whiskers, Chipman appeared before Judge Abernethy and told him he was on his way to the home of relatives in Jay County, Indiana." |
