New York, July 2s,-After gnawing
its way out OF wooden box in the
geological garden in Bronx Park,
young panther just arrived from Mex
leo, walked up to a picnic party of
women and children and. astonished by
their panic, jumped over their heads in

a fine specimen, is inches high at the
shoulders, five feet long, and he weighs
45 pounds. He was shipped from Mex
leo in a pine box, with stats, To rem
der the possibility Of its escape more
difficult, the panther was chained TO
the inside Of the crate. a heavy collar
being fastened about his neck to which
the end Of the chain was tied. When
the crate arrived at the geological park

NINA DANroRTH's CASE.
Bay State Authorities Puzzled as "a
Its Disposition.

New York, July 2S.--The state auth
critics are puzzled as to a satisfactory
disposition Of the case Of Nina Dan
forth, the deformed girl, who killed A.
j. Emery and is now in the Cambridge
house of correction awaiting trial, says
a Boston special to the Press. Atty
Gen. Parker feels that because of the
pitiable circumstances Of the case
Jury would acqult her. Yet, by her own
admission and by the testimony Of eye
witnesses she killed Emery as he stood
In the doorway of his home in South
birmingham. 1t is the fear Of having
a verdict Of not guilty which causes
the attorney general so much trouble
He IL afraid the traditions Of the Mas
sachusetts courts will be violated by
the return of a verdict in direct oppo-
sltion to the evidence. The authorities
are said to have at last reached the
conclusion that the best ending OF the
case would be an arrangement when
the state could accept without estap-
fishing a bad precedent and when
would let the girl out Of the house OF
correction under restraint or watch
which would not be so close as to
threaten her already weak condition of
mind. This may be accomplished by a
verdict Of manslaughter with a light
sentence from which will be taken the
time already spent by the prisoner In
the house Of correction.
