a creature of seemingly a higher form Of
animal life than monkey and ,ower than
a man.
Brewer and Thorndye called the animal
the missing link" and laid great stress on
the alleged fact that no one was able to
say whether ii belonged TO the human or
the brute creation. Brewer now ayers
that the freak was a monkey.
In a scut1e with it, the Snowman became
angry and, seizing a heavy club, dealt the
creature a lard blow over the ear from
the effects of which it died in a few hours
The local authorities Immediately paced
Brewer under arrest on a charge of mur-
der. At the preliminary hearing his law
yers set up the defense that their client
did not take the life of a human being, but
the magistrate bound him over TO the
grand Jury.
