Mrs. Bridget Farry, one-time Park Central chambermaid who testified in the Arnold Rothstein case, is in the news again. She has gone Nazi.

Bridget appeared yesterday in City Hall Park with a placard bearing the following legend:

“Mayor LaGuardia — This is not a Jewish country. The Irish can vote here—and if they can’t vote—they can fight. I’m Irish.”

Bridget says she was denied the right to register at a public school at Hester and Ludlow streets.
