Jamaica, L. I , Sept. 1.—Philip Schneider, 48, who saya he lives at Wantagh L. I., was seen staggering along the road near the police booth at Hempstead and Jericho Turnpikes, Queens, on Saturday evening by Pa¬ trolman Fraser, on duty in the   booth.
"I just can't make mv legs behave," said Schneider, when the officer asked him what was wrong. "Here, wait 'till I take, one of 'em off and see what ails it." :~r"t
Schneider forthwith sat down beside the road, took off his right leg, which was of wood, and looked at it, anx¬ iously, while Eraser's eyes almost popped out.
"No, 'tain't that one; maybe its the other," said Schneider, and Frazer nearly fainted when he took off his left leg, which was also of wood, and scrutinized it carefully. .,
The legs wouldn't behave, even af¬ ter they'd been replaced, so Schneider who explained that he'd worn wooden underpinning since his own lega were removed above the knees in a trolley car accident several years ago, was arrested on a charge of intoxication. When arraigned before Magistrate Leach yesterday, Schneider blamed his legs for hia inability to navigate
