    A renowned Irish author was arrested by a policeman in New Jersey under suspicion of being a burglar. Seamus McManus was detained for two hours by a policeman, who alleges that Mr. McManus then called him a 'fool’. Mr. McManus is now charged with ‘disorderly conduct’, although there is no charge of burglary.
