DID HONORABLE CAT
FALL OR DID YOSHIDA
THROW 1T? PROBLEM
Japanese Janltor Accused by s. P. O.
A. of Hurting Inoffensive Feline
from Thrd-Story
Window

Did the cat jump out of third-story
window in the Currier building or was
it hurled to it's death by Japanese
janitor? This is the question to be
solved by Police Justice Frederlckson
today in the case of Jar Yoshida, who
was arrested by officers of the S. T. =.
A. OH a charge of cruelty to animals.
The officers declare they were notl-
fed that the Japanese had entered an
Office on the third floor of the pulIuins
to sweep out and was enraged 10 lnu
that a cat was taking nap on a desk;
The brown man yelled banzal! ana
bore down upton the feline, which made
desperate attempts to escape from tne
yellow peril.
The door leading to the hall was
closed and the only exit was an open
window, a ledge outside and drop OF
three stories to the pavement below.
ITttering his war cry and calling upon
a three-headed god to aid him, the
Japanese chased the frightened mid
night prowler around the room, and
the pair was soon racing at great
speed.
Finally the cat tired of the sprinting
diversion and Ieaped to the window
sill and out upon the ledge. Then, II is
alleged, the relentless pursuer OF tne
feline seized the unfortunate animal
and hurled it to the pavement, IldIiS-
ling it so that it was destroyed by the
agents of the S. p. c. A. when they
arrived. shortly afterward.
The alleged perseuctor of cats de-
clares that the cat jumped out of the
window when it saw sparrow in the
street below. He smiled when telling
his story, through an Interpreter, to the
court yesterday afternoon when he was
arraigned.
'"The honorable household pet, she
appear quite hungry and see several
elegant fat bird in the remote street
great distance below" said Yoshida.
sInstantIy she spring out the window
and get grievously hurt. We take it to
the basement, where the officers find It
and kill him. I did not push him out
1t is a peculiar case. The Japanese
pleaded not guilty when arraigned and
there was no one to testify against him.
One of the S. P. c.. A. officers said he
had a witness who saw the Japanese
throw the cat out of the window, and
in orders 10 secure evidence against the
man the case was continued until to-
day SO that the witness could be sum-
moned.
While talking to the prosecuting at
torney Yoshida is said to have made q
statement to the effect that he pushed
the feline to its death with feather
buster while the animal was taking a
cat-nap on the window ledge.
